Cairo, July 23, 2026. In a letter addressed to the President of Egypt, H.E. Mr. Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez sent warm congratulations to the Egyptian government and people on the occasion of the 74rd Anniversary of the Revolution of the Arab Republic of Egypt, National Day of the Nation.
Likewise, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla congratulated his Egyptian counterpart H.E. Dr. Badr Abdelatty on the occasion.
Strong Rejection of the State Department's New Slanderous Campaign
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Cuba rejects, in the strongest possible terms, the report published on July 20 by the U.S. Department of State regarding Cuba’s alleged subversive influence against the United States. This is a mediocre propaganda pamphlet. It seeks to reinforce the false message that Cuba poses a threat to the United States—a pretext that the U.S. government uses to justify collective punishment and genocide against the Cuban people. By fabricating accusatory narratives, it aims to build consensus for a potential military aggression.
It is hypocritical for the State Department to accuse Cuba of promoting subversive actions, when it is well known that it is the U.S. government that allocates tens of millions of dollars from its federal budget each year to subvert the internal order in Cuba, provoke hunger and despair, and bring about the overthrow of the Cuban government. This is done by the very same government that has a sordid history of interference and violations of international law, that carries out extrajudicial executions in international waters, engages in political assassination, sponsors acts of genocide, attacks sovereign countries on every continent of the planet, and interferes in the electoral processes of sovereign states.
