Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Cuban Foreign Minister, described this Friday as arbitrary and one-sided the annual report on terrorism in the world issued by the US State Department, which keeps Cuba for another year on the list of countries sponsoring terrorism.
The United States (USA) insists, with fewer and fewer arguments, on slandering Cuba to justify its hostile policy of economic asphyxiation, said Rodríguez Parrilla in his account on the social network X.
The immorality is offensive and the unpunished abuse in the face of the heroic resistance of this people is insulting, said the Cuban Foreign Minister.
“In its arbitrary and one-sided report on terrorism, the US insists, with ever fewer arguments, on slandering #Cuba to justify its hostile policy of economic asphyxiation. “It insults the immorality and insults the unpunished abuse in the face of the heroic resistance of this people.”
Eugenio Martínez Enríquez, Director General for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, considered it immoral and irresponsible that the report used the non-delivery of National Liberation Army (ELN) members to Colombia as a pretext for evaluating Cuba.
The official recalled that the same ELN members are in Mexico today for talks with the Colombian government; They should recognize Cuba for its contribution, he added.
“It is immoral and irresponsible that the report uses the non-delivery of ELN members to Colombia as a pretext for “evaluating” Cuba, even though the same ELN members are in Mexico today in talks with the Colombian government. “They should recognize Cuba for its contribution.”
In the annual report on countries allegedly supporting terrorism, Cuba is listed alongside the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran and Syria, implying the imposition of strict sanctions by the North American government.
According to the State Department, the document released this Thursday does not represent a new announcement regarding such designations, but rather a review of the administration’s obligation to notify Congress every year.
