Message from President Miguel Díaz-Canel to the Summit of the Peoples

Dear Manolo; comrades who are participating in the Summit of the Peoples;

I was not wrong when I said that I will not be in the Summit of the Americas but the voice of Cuba certainly will.

Remarks to the Cuban Civil Society excluded from the Summit of the Americas

Comrades all;

Allow me to begin with words that were told more than one century ago:

“When a strong nation wants to fight a battle with another, it demands allegiance and service from those nations dependent upon it. The first thing a nation does to dominate another is to separate it from other nations.”

This was written by Jose Marti 130 years ago after attending the Monetary Conference, a feast purposely designed by a burgeoning United States for the young republics of Our America.
