Communiqué from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba learned today, September 18, through media reports, of the surprising statement made by Costa Rican Foreign Minister Manuel Tovar Rivera to the Miami Herald that “diplomatic relations have been severed” with Cuba, a fact that has never been formally notified to the Cuban government by the authorities of that country.

As previously reported, on March 17, 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship of Costa Rica informed our Foreign Ministry, via a diplomatic note and without offering any justification, of its unilateral decision to close that country’s embassy in Cuba. Furthermore, it requested that Cuba, without any justification and invoking an alleged and unfounded principle of reciprocity, withdraw the diplomatic staff from its Embassy in San José and retain only consular and administrative personnel.
