Havana, Jun 24, 2020.- Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said today that the alleged promotion of U.S. values has historically been a pretext for attacking other nations.
The Foreign Minister stressed in his Twitter account that this way of acting in U.S. foreign policy has been used to defend the economic interests of that country and to establish its domination.
Havana, Jun 22, 2020.-The confessions of former US National Security Advisor John Bolton confirm the danger posed by the United States to regional stability, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said on Monday.
A foreign policy that responds to interests of domination, based on the Monroe Doctrine, lies, manipulates and intimidates, while it violates international law, Rodriguez pointed out on his Twitter account.

Dr. June Soomer, Secretary-General of the Association of Caribbean States;
Distinguished delegates and guests;
Excellencies:
First of all I would like to welcome the initiative of the Government of Barbados, in its condition as Chair of the Council of Ministers of the Association of Caribbean States, of convening this meeting.
Statement by the Cuban Delegation. Geneva, June 2020.
Madam President,
We thank you for organizing this urgent debate and in particular the African Group for its leadership in this initiative.
Almost two decades after the Durban World Conference, the scourge of racism, discrimination and xenophobia continues to spread in a world that is increasingly unequal and embroiled in multiple and complex crises.
Madam President,
Havana, Jun 15 (Prensa Latina) A new Cuban medical brigade, from the Henry Reeve contingent specializing in disaster situations and serious epidemics, arrived today in the British territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands to combat Covid-19.
The Minister of Health and the Deputy Governor of this region welcomed the new group, made up of 20 health professionals, of which 12 are women.
International cooperation does not stop, Eugenio Martinez, director general for Latin America and the Caribbean at the island's Foreign Ministry, said on Twitter as he shared the news.
Pretoria, June 14, 2020.- Today, we celebrate the 41st anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the Kingdom of Lesotho. Since the formalization of their ties in 1979, relationships have permanently strengthened on the basis of friendship and cooperation.
We proudly highlight the almost two decades of the Cuban medical cooperation with Lesotho, started in 2002. In that nation African currently serves a Cuban medical brigade which has wide recognition from the authorities and the Kingdom population.
Havana, June 13, 2020-- The National Director of Epidemiology of the Cuban Ministry of Public Health, Dr. Francisco Duran, reported that there were 5 new cases detected of COVID-19, for an total of 2,238 positive cases across the island.
During his daily press briefing held Saturday morning, Dr. Duran said that over the past 24 hours -- up to 12 midnight Friday night -- fortunately, no patients died from the coronavirus. A total of 84 patients have died from COVID-19 in Cuba over the past several months.
Havana, June 13, 2020.- Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez reported on Saturday that the island's Consulates are resuming their services in those countries where health conditions allow it.
The foreign minister said on his Twitter account that in all cases the necessary security measures are taken to avoid contagion with Covid-19.
He indicated that this reopening does not eliminate the extension of the permit to stay abroad to those citizens who, as a result of the pandemic, have not been able to return to their country in 24 months.
By chance, they were born on the same date, June 14, although in two different centuries. On this day, 83 years apart, Major General Antonio Maceo was born in 1845 and Major Ernesto Guevara in 1928. One in Santiago de Cuba; the other, in the Argentine city of Rosario.
Tradition makes this date a day to unite the legacy of two guides, to make the thoughts of these two heroes our own and to search for the essence of their revolutionary thoughts.
