Havana, June 25 (RHC)-- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel, greeted the First International Peace Forum, held in Brussels, where the promotion of war conflagrations as mere business was condemned.
The Communist Party of Cuba revealed the greeting message from the head of state, who considered the event "to acquire special relevance" due to the "urgency imposed by war, destruction, death, and the displacement of thousands of innocent people."
“As Fidel said: Fighting for peace is the most sacred duty of human beings, regardless of their religion or country of birth, the color of their skin, their age or their youth,” Díaz-Canel stated.
He added: "True to his legacy and his tireless work for the preservation of peace, Cuba reaffirms its vocation and commitment to this cause.”
Diaz-Canel also reiterated that the Forum is “transcendental” because it occurs at a time when “the genocidal regime of Israel unleashes a war against the Islamic Republic of Iran with the support of its main ally, the United States government, which puts the Middle East and humanity in general at risk.”
“We must coordinate efforts against war, armed conflict, militarization, blockades, climate change, and promote, responsibly, disarmament, effective multilateralism, sustainable development, dialogue, cooperation, and internationalist solidarity,” he recommended.
The Cuban president commented that “peace goes far beyond the absence of war or military activities.”
“Peace must be conceived as the elimination of imbalances caused by the theft of resources, the imposition of wills, colonialist practices, and everything that violates human dignity,” he asserted.
The president referred specifically to the “noble and courageous Palestinian people, who daily suffer the genocide of the Zionist entity, injustice, and the violation of the most sacred of rights: the right to life.”
“To our Palestinian brothers and sisters, our admiration, respect, and firm and unconditional support.” "Let us work together to achieve a just and lasting peace, to build a new political and economic order, for the well-being and security of our peoples."
This Tuesday, the First International Peace Forum concluded. It brought together more than 50 delegations from all continents in Brussels, Belgium, where they advocated for multilateral dialogue, disarmament, and conflict resolution through diplomatic means.
