We will defend Cuba: Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla

Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Cuba and Foreign Minister of Cuba:

The US intends to impose its will on the rights of sovereign States and has resorted to force and aggression against Cuba for 67 years now.

On its side there is its huge military power and the dimensions of its economy, plus a vast experience in aggressions and crimes.

On our side there is reason, International Law and the patriotic spirit of an entire people. We Cubans are not ready to sell out our country or give in to threats and blackmail, or renounce to the inalienable prerogative with which we are building our own destiny, in peace with the rest of the world.

We will defend Cuba. Those who know us are aware that this is a firm, categorical and demonstrated commitment.
