President Miguel Díaz-Canel stated today that Cuba has always been willing to hold serious and responsible dialogue with different US administrations, but for now, only technical contacts exist in the migratory sphere.

The president made the declarations on his X account, following statements by US President Donald Trump about alleged contact with Cuban authorities, something the island's press had already labeled as speculation. "No talks exist with the United States government, except for technical contacts in the migratory sphere," the Cuban president wrote verbatim on his social media account.

Díaz-Canel said the willingness for dialogue includes the current White House administration "based on sovereign equality, mutual respect, principles of International Law, reciprocal benefit without interference in internal affairs, and with full respect for our independence."

The head of state recalled that the origin and extreme hardening of the blockade have no relation to Cubans residing in the United States, who are there driven by that failed policy and by the privileges of the Cuban Adjustment Act.

The message specifies that these Cubans on US soil "are now victims of the change in policies toward migrants and of the betrayal by Miami politicians."

Likewise, the Caribbean nation's president mentioned the existence of bilateral Migration Agreements in force that Cuba scrupulously complies with.

Simultaneously, he expressed the conviction demonstrated throughout history that "for relations between the United States and Cuba to advance, they must be based on International Law instead of on hostility, threat, and economic coercion."

The statements by the also First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba this Monday come after a weekend of firm declarations from the island in its defense and in response to threats issued from Washington. (CubaSí)
