Beirut, July 3, 2019. On the morning of today, the Embassy of Cuba was visited by a delegation of the Meeting of Arab Nationalist Parties and Movements to express their support for the Cuban Revolution in the face of the aggressive policy of the Trump administration against the island and in particular in front of the reinforcement of the economic, commercial and financial blockade that causes so much damage in the population of the country.
The Lebanese politicians thanked Cuba for its firm historical position in favor of the Arab cause and highlighted the example of resistance emanating from the anti-imperialist struggle of the Cuban people led by historical figures of the stature of Commander Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. They also appreciated the position of rejection of the misnamed Agreement of the Century by the government of Cuba.
The Chargé d'Affaires a.i. of the Embassy of Cuba, Raúl Madrigal, spoke with visitors about the political situation in Latin America in the face of the US offensive against the progressive governments of the region and reaffirmed the non-negotiable decision of the Cuban government and people to defend their right to choose in a sovereign and independent way on the economic, political and social development of Cuba.
