Cairo, September 29, 2026. Egyptian media highlighted the remarks made by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez at the High-Level Segment of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

In his remarks, the Cuban diplomat highlighted the words of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz from 66 years ago, in a memorable speech at the UN podium when he stated: “Let the philosophy of plunder disappear, and the philosophy of war will have disappeared! Let the colonies disappear, let the exploitation of countries by monopolies disappear, and then humanity will have reached a true stage of progress!”

Paris, September 29, 2026. – The Permanent Delegation of Cuba to UNESCO today paid tribute to Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz as part of the celebrations marking the centenary of his birth. A group of ambassadors and delegates to the Organization attended the event, where they learned about Fidel’s relationship with UNESCO and his commitment to education, culture, science, technology, and the promotion of peace and international cooperation—areas closely linked to the Organization’s mandate.

In her remarks, the Cuban ambassador, Maria del Carmen Herrera Caseiro, stressed that these advances have been achieved in a context marked by the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba for more than six decades, and by its progressive tightening. Today, this policy of collective punishment is accompanied by an energy siege that exacerbates the difficulties faced by the country and directly affects sectors essential to the well-being of the population, while the threat of secondary sanctions against companies, banks, and institutions in third countries that maintain ties with Cuba remains in place. These measures, with humanitarian consequences, have created additional obstacles to the country’s development and place important achievements in areas related to UNESCO’s mandate at serious risk.

Nicosia, September 28, 2026 – The new president of the Socialist Party of Cyprus (EDEK), Sofía Christodoulou Makri, received on Monday at the offices of her political group the ambassador of the Republic of Cuba accredited in Nicosia, Rubén Pino Martínez. 

During the courtesy visit, the Cuban diplomat personally congratulated the young lawyer and new EDEK president on her appointment, and she expressed warm words of gratitude and openness toward the Caribbean ambassador; a reflection of the excellent relations between both peoples and nations, as well as the close ties between the political party she leads and the Communist Party of Cuba. 

Pino Martínez was able to update him on the difficult economic situation the island is going through, due to the hostile, inhuman, and criminal blockade imposed by the U.S. government, along with the suffocating energy siege that has increased the suffering of millions of Cubans over the past eleven months, caused by the application of extraterritorial measures and sanctions against the largest of the Antilles and/or third countries trying to do business with Cuba.
