US Military Deployment in the Caribbean Sea Threatens the Region Under Absurd Pretexts

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba

The Cuban Government strongly rejects the current deployment of United States military forces in the Caribbean Sea. This dangerous action represents a serious threat and an aggressive show of force against the sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. Furthermore, it ignores the commitment of the 33 Member States of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States when they proclaimed the region as a Zone of Peace.

Cuba dressed up this May 1st to commemorate International Workers' Day, a tradition that highlights the spirit of the national labor movement. The number of participants in Havana exceeded 600,000, and nationwide, more than 5.3 million.

With the special motivation of commemorating the 25th anniversary of the concept of Revolution expressed by Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, the island's streets were filled with life and color from early on, with stands adorned with posters, banners, and slogans that reflected the unwavering commitment of a people fighting to preserve the achievements of the Revolution and revive the national economy through collective collaboration.
