Statement by H.E. Mr. Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, at the Second Ministerial Meeting of the CELAC-China Forum
istinguished Foreign Ministers and Representatives:
I would like to convey my gratitude to Chile, particularly to Santiago de Chile, for its warm welcome.
A few days ahead of the commemoration of the 165th anniversary of the birth of our National Hero Jose Martí this January 28, Cuba takes pride in being part of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). Its foundation crystallized the message of independence and unity of the region contained in Martí’s essay entitled “Our America”.
