On December 20, more than 500,000 Havana residents, representing the people, led by Army General and leader of the Revolution, Raúl Castro Ruz, and Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, marched in front of the United States Embassy in a massive demonstration against the blockade and the inclusion of the country on the list of State sponsors of terrorism drawn up by the State Department. The rally was a great demonstration of popular support for the Revolution, as well as a show of unity in which the joy, confidence and optimism of the Cubans could be appreciated despite the daily difficulties caused by the maximum pressure policy of the American government. It was a march for life, honor, dignity and for the future of the heroic and peaceful people. Of great symbolism was the encouraging presence of Raúl as the main representative of that historic generation that led us to victory in 1959, walking firmly alongside the youth, who carried forward the premise of not failing those who dedicated their lives to defending national sovereignty.

Ambassador Beatriz Parra González, held a virtual exchange with the Director of Global Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, HE. Mr. Vytautas Pinkus, to review topics on the bilateral agenda and the international arena. The Cuban diplomat offered detailed information on the state of the country after the onslaught of two hurricanes and an equal number of earthquakes, as well as the national energy crisis it faces due to the intensification of the United States blockade policy. In this regard, Parra emphasized Cuba's gratitude to the Lithuanian people and government for their support of the UN Resolution demanding an end to this unjust policy, which seeks to subdue the Cuban people in the midst of a generalized crisis.
