Cuban Ambassador Receives Cyprus Commissioner for Environment and Animal Welfare

Nicosia, November 12, 2026 – The Cuban ambassador to Cyprus, Rubén Pino Martínez, received this Thursday at the Cuban diplomatic mission the Cypriot Commissioner for Environment and Animal Welfare, Mr Elias Myrianthous, during a courtesy visit to the Caribbean diplomatic mission.

In a cordial and friendly exchange, Ambassador Pino Martínez updated the Cypriot commissioner on the current situation in his country, where the constant hostility and aggressiveness of more than sixty years of the U.S. blockade against Cuba persist, intensified by new executive orders, pressures, and coercive measures from the Trump administration against third countries, which “seek to strangle our economy and restrict any access to fuels that support the vitality of our nation.”

In correspondence, Mr Elias Myrianthous offered warm words of solidarity and support to Cuba and its people, recognizing and being well aware of "all the damage caused by the United States' blockade policy against Cuba over the past decades, a country I have carried in my heart for many years." "I wish," he noted, "that this policy of siege and hostility towards Cuba ends as soon as possible."

During his speech at the panel “Beyond Capitalism: Current Experiences and Paths Towards Social Transformation,” the Cuban representative delved into the current pressures of the U.S. blockade against Cuba, the energy siege, and the secondary sanctions applied to the island, which "have caused the exit of important foreign companies that operated in key sectors for our economy, such as energy, tourism, and banking-financial services."
