Cuban President: Cuba is determined to resist any attempt at foreign military aggression.
Xinhua News Agency, Havana, November 13 (Reporter Jiang Biao) Cuban President Diaz-Canel stated on the 13th that Cuba is determined to oppose any foreign attempt to launch military aggression against Cuba and is making preparations for it.
According to information published by the official website of the Cuban Presidential Palace, Diaz-Canel participated that day in preparatory activities for national defense in the city of Bairros, Havana province. He said the US has repeatedly issued threats of military aggression in recent days, prompting Cuba to make public defense preparations to maintain the defense strategy of "all people's war" and strengthen various components of the territorial defense system.
Diaz-Canel said that Cuba demands that the US government lift its embargo against Cuba and stop the "collective punishment" of the Cuban people. This is also the position of the international community. When the UN General Assembly recently voted on a resolution proposed by Cuba to oppose the embargo, the US government exerted pressure in an attempt to get some countries to change their voting positions in support of Cuba, but failed to influence the international community's support for Cuba.
Diaz-Canel reiterated that Cuba does not threaten or invade any country. These invented excuses are designed to create favorable public opinion for the exercise of aggression against Cuba and are defamatory in nature. Cuba is not a threat to the national security of any country in the world.
