Cairo, February 25, 2026. The speech given by Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, at the High-Level Segment of the 61st session of the Human Rights Council has had a wide impact in the Egyptian press.
More than a dozen Egyptian newspapers reported on the Cuban Foreign Minister's words on their websites, highlighting his condemnation of the United States' aggressive policy toward Cuba and the world. They also referred to the Executive Order issued on January 29 by the President of the United States, which declares collective punishment of the Cuban people and aims to create a humanitarian catastrophe through an energy blockade.
The articles highlighted the words of the head of Cuban diplomacy on the Cuban people's decision to defend with the utmost vigor and courage, in close unity and broad consensus, their right to self-determination, independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and constitutional order, as well as their determination to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, protected by the culture and history, patriotic tradition, experience, will, and integrity of the Cuban people, and that even in the worst-case scenario, creative solutions would be found.
Press reports reflected the Cuban Foreign Minister's words on the emergence of a dictatorship in the globalized world that was destroying the order born of World War II and attacking international law, the United Nations, and the organizations of the international system. As well as the revival of “the philosophy of dispossession” as the exceptional and supreme right of the United States of America to conquest and the use of force as an immanent, natural, and everyday way of being.
Among the websites that reported on the intervention were Al Safir, La Liga Hispano Árabe, Al Messa, Khalf El Hadath, Sout Al Omam, Al Nahar Egypt, El Mashhad, Al Masry Alyoum, Al Ameltanmya, and Al Taqrer News. (EmbaCuba Egipto)
