Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has denounced the danger of military aggression against Venezuela by the United States government and reiterated Cuba’s unwavering and total support for that South American nation.
On his account on the social media platform X, the island’s foreign minister expressed his support for the Popular Military Union, led by Nicolás Maduro, and called on the international community to mobilize to stop the attack and preserve Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace.
Bruno Rodríguez indicated that he presented this demand this Wednesday at the 19th Ministerial Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which is meeting in Uganda on October 15th and 16th.
“Faced with the danger of military aggression, we reiterate our unwavering and full support for #Venezuela and the Popular Military Union, led by legitimate President Nicolás Maduro. We call on the international community to mobilize to stop the attack and preserve Latin America and the Caribbean as a #ZoneOfPeace.”
In his speech, the Cuban minister noted that Washington imposes unilateral coercive measures against developing nations for the purposes of destabilization and domination, which constitutes a threat to international stability.
He rejected the United States military deployment in the Caribbean, presented as an anti-drug operation, considering it a violation of international law and a risk to regional peace.
The top Cuban diplomat also condemned the U.S. government’s attacks against the United Nations and multilateral agreements essential to addressing global challenges.
The Kampala meeting takes place amid rising international tensions, which, according to the Foreign Minister, reinforces the need to defend multilateralism as a way to address common challenges.
Cuba’s foreign minister began a tour of Africa on October 9, with visits to Togo, Benin, and Ethiopia, prior to his participation in the NAM ministerial meeting in Uganda.
