Cuban ambassador reaffirms the condemnation of the U.S. blockade against the island alongside Cubans residing there and supporters of the largest of the Antilles
Limassol, Cyprus, June 7, 2026 – The Cuban ambassador to Cyprus, Rubén Pino Martínez, reiterated this Sunday the condemnation of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. on the Caribbean island for more than six decades, a stance shared with Cubans residing in Cyprus and local friends and from other multiple nations present at the international event “Musical Footprints, a City for Everyone” in Limassol.
Considered the second largest city and the main tourist and commercial centre of the Mediterranean island, Limassol hosted last weekend hundreds of representatives from various communities and cultures living in different Cypriot cities, as an example of coexistence, respect, and solidarity among nations.
From there, the Cuban diplomat and the participating Antillean delegation infinitely thanked that space as a demonstration of solidarity with Cuba; they reminded that today more than ever Cuba needs the voice of friendly peoples, and they made an open and forceful denunciation of the policy of threats and energy blockade by the imperialist power against the Caribbean island, a message that received spontaneous expressions of support and accompaniment from many of the attendees toward the participating Cuban delegation.
Cuban ambassador participates in the inauguration of sculptural ensembles in honor of two great exponents of Cypriot culture
Nicosia, Cyprus, June 2, 2026.- The Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to Cyprus, Rubén Pino Martínez, participated this Tuesday in the inauguration of respective sculptural ensembles in honor of two great exponents of Cypriot music and poetry, Michalakis Giasemidis and Kostas Katsantonis, monuments unveiled in the Park of Poets and Spiritual Creators of Engomi, in this capital.
According to those present, a national and cultural debt has been fulfilled with both figures, whose works and memories enrich the musical and poetic dialectical legacy that Giasemidis and Katsantonis, respectively, sowed in the Cypriot idiosyncrasy, and which today mark and distinguish the cultural heritage of this Eastern Mediterranean island.
Officially inaugurated by the honorable Mr. Mario Hartsiotis, Commissioner of the Presidency of the Republic of Cyprus, the evening encompassed, with absolute institutional respect and that of the respective families, the enriching imprint of both figures on the national culture.
Statement on the meeting between the Secretary General of AKEL and the Ambassador of Cuba. AKEL stands in solidarity with Cuba. The attempt to strangle the Cuban people must end.
The General Secretary of AKEL, Stefanos Stefanou, met yesterday with the Cuban Ambassador to Cyprus, Rubén Pino, and briefed him on AKEL’s initial assessments regarding the outcome of the parliamentary elections. He particularly emphasised AKEL’s determination, bolstered by the new strength derived from the election results, to intensify its struggles in support of Cyprus and its people.
The Cuban diplomat briefed Stefanos Stefanou on the extremely difficult daily life experienced by the entire Cuban people as a result of the new illegal unilateral sanctions and the ongoing four-month energy blockade of the country by the U.S. He also referred to the US’s escalating aggressiveness against Cuba and the fabricated accusations aimed to justify the overt threats of military intervention.
The General Secretary of AKEL condemned the U.S. war rhetoric and the false accusations against Cuba and its leaders, which are part of the U.S. effort to construct a “narrative” for intervention in the country. He also emphasised that while the Trump administration is trying to portray Cuba as a “failed state” due to shortages of electricity and basic necessities, the whole world knows that the root cause of the situation is the illegal 65-year-old blockade that the U.S. itself imposes on Cuba. He also recalled that the U.S. blockade against Cuba has been condemned 32 consecutive times by an overwhelming majority of the UN General Assembly. The General Secretary of AKEL, moreover, emphasised that the international community must stand up against the attempt to asphyxiate the Cuban people and against the flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter, but also to prevent a U.S. intervention in Cuba that would lead to bloodshed.
Cypriot newspaper Haravgi publishes a statement from the Revolutionary Government: “Cuba condemns the vile accusation against the Leader of the Revolution.”
Nicosia, Cyprus, May 28, 2026. The Cypriot newspaper “Haravgi” reproduced in full on its front page this Thursday, May 28, the statement from the Revolutionary Government: “Cuba condemns the vile accusation against the Leader of the Revolution", Army General Raúl Castro Ruz.
The text exposes a brazen, interventionist, and provocative action by the U.S. government against Cuba and its people, attempting to criminalise Comrade Raúl Castro Ruz through slanderous and distorted accusations with no regard for historical truth; trying to divert international public opinion from the primary responsibility of U.S. policy for the sustained deterioration and worsening of the current living conditions of the Cuban population.
Haravgi thus publishes the crude and fraudulent accusation against Army General Raúl Castro Ruz as the latest pretext wielded by the U.S. government, adding to a long list of fallacies that attempt to portray Cuba as a threat to U.S. national security.
