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.
Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
On March 4, 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility of the Republic of Ecuador, through a diplomatic note, announced its decision to declare all diplomatic, consular, and administrative personnel of the Cuban Embassy in Quito persona non grata, without providing any justification, and gave them 48 hours to leave Ecuadorian territory.
