Rodriguez displayed, in a press briefing, clandestine documents, which, he said, are the basis of the pressure Washington is exerting on governments and diplomats to prevent the holding of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session against the blockade, scheduled for July 7.

The foreign minister denounced a document entitled “The Regime Must Reform Itself,” which contains “mendacious, slanderous chapters, offensive to the dignity and sovereignty of any State.”

Another document, he noted, presents Cuba as a belligerent part in the war in Ukraine, “full of lies, without a single shred of evidence, without a single fact.”

The Cuban diplomat categorically rejected the military threat from the world’s largest military and nuclear power against Cuba and reiterated that there are no foreign military bases on the island.

Rodriguez underscored that Cuba has been, is, and will be a country of peace, and remembered that Havana was the site where the proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace was signed.
