In the letter, the Party's Foreign Relations Committee expressed its full solidarity with the call to defend peace and respect for international law, and its absolute rejection of any violation of international law, international treaties and norms, as well as interference in the internal affairs of states.

¡Long live the struggle of the friendly people of Cuba and their victory over the arrogance of US power and the conspiracies of the blockade!
The friendly Republic of Cuba is facing a new campaign of criminal aggression, aimed at inflicting serious damage on the Cuban economy, the lives of its people, and the stability of the unyielding Cuban state. Cuba has been fiercely besieged by the United States and its henchmen for more than six continuous decades, under the false pretext that Cuba poses a threat to US national security, and through the imposition of tariffs on countries that sell or supply oil to the island to force it to back down.
