Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba learned on Friday, September 18, through the press, of the surprising statement made by the Costa Rican Foreign Minister, Manuel Tovar Rivera, to the Miami Herald, that “diplomatic relations have been severed” with Cuba, a fact that the authorities of that country have never formally notified the Cuban government of.

 

The large delegation will visit the Caribbean nation until September 30.

Strengthening relations with Cuba, breaking attempts at isolation, and countering the U.S. blockade are the objectives of "Ruta a Cuba: Estar donde importa" (Route to Cuba: Being Where It Matters), an Italian caravan that will travel to the island on September 23.

In a historic session of the UN Human Rights Council, numerous international delegations unanimously supported the report of the Special Rapporteur condemning the U.S. embargo against Cuba and demanding its immediate cessation.

The MPD upheld that the decision disregards the historic ties of solidarity between the two countries

The Maximiliano Gomez Eastern Regional Committee of the Dominican Popular Movement (MPD) described as "shameful" the decision by Luis Abinader's government to request the departure of several members of the Cuban diplomatic mission and their families, without publicly explaining the reasons for the measure.

Russia stands in solidarity with Cuba.

During a visit to Havana, a delegation from the Russian Civic Chamber donated humanitarian aid to Cuba to support the country’s population, reported the Russkiy Mir.ru channel today.
