Good afternoon and thank you for joining us today.
Just a few meters from where we stand, the United States Mission is holding a sham event against Cuba, in full contravention of the rules that govern the use of UN premises.
It is a clandestine gathering absolutely alien to the UN agenda. Unfortunately, the UN Secretariat has not prevented this from happening, despite our repeated warnings.
Hiding themselves, the US has organized a gathering of representatives of a small, selective and discriminatory group of Member States, to spread lies about Cuba.
Cuban biotechnology is one of the most significant outcomes of a science policy formulated more than four decades ago by the Cuban Revolution. Its advancement was closely linked to the strategic vision of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, who wisely understood that a small country, lacking substantial natural resources, blockaded by the world's leading superpower, and facing severe limitations in accessing advanced technologies, had to transform education, research, and the talent of its scientists into a source of sovereignty and prosperity.
Kuwait, August 13, 2026. The Embassy of the Republic of Cuba in Kuwait held a commemorative event to mark the centennial of the birth of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, whose legacy and ideals remain fully relevant and continue to serve as a model for the struggle for sovereignty, social justice, and solidarity among peoples. The event was attended by ambassadors accredited to Kuwait, journalists, members of the diplomatic corps, and friends of Cuba, who joined in paying tribute.
Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Cuba rejects, in the strongest terms, the report published on July 20 by the United States Department of State, concerning Cuba's alleged subversive influence against that country. This is a mediocre propaganda pamphlet. It seeks to bolster the mendacious message that Cuba constitutes a threat to the United States, a pretext that the U.S. government uses for collective punishment and genocide against the Cuban people. Through the construction of accusatory narratives, it aims to fabricate support for a potential military aggression.
