Comuniqué from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Pretoria, 05 March, 2026.- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba rejects in the strongest terms the arbitrary and unjustified decision by the government of Ecuador to expel all personnel from the Cuban Embassy in that country. The Ministry categorically reaffirms that the staff of the Cuban Embassy in Quito, as established by the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, has strictly complied with Ecuador's laws and regulations without interfering in the internal affairs of that State.

Investigation into foiled terrorist infiltration attempt moves forward. US authorities express willingness to cooperate.

In compliance with the current Cuban law, forensic and investigative actions that will allow full clarification of the facts, as well as the involvement of each of the perpetrators, are moving forward.

The statements made by the detainees themselves, together with a series of investigative procedures, reinforce the evidence against them, while new elements are being obtained that establish the involvement of other individuals based in the United States.
