Havana, Dec. 24.- Despite the blockade imposed by the United States and the complex situation facing the country, Cuba has achieved goals of justice that continue to be an aspiration for tens of millions of people in the world today.
Such a statement was expressed the day before by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, who praised the island's achievements in the international arena, when speaking at the event for the 65th anniversary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Cuba has had the unmatched ability to bring that justice to many peoples of the world, with solidarity and respect for the rights of others; it has had the merit of influencing, for the better, important political processes in the region and beyond, he stressed.
The head of State stressed that several international observers, both friends and adversaries of the country, recognize the influence that the island has had on a global level.
Those who know us expect us to play an active role in defending these flags of hope against imperialism, that is, against selfishness, exploitation, abuse, usurpation, inequality, racism and all forms of discrimination, he pointed out.
During his speech, the president urged diplomats to strengthen their ideological fiber, their modesty and integrity, austerity and loyalty to the working people.
He also referred to the importance of strengthening the capacity for analysis, promoting the study of International Law, as well as understanding and defending, with conviction, the principles on which the policy of the Cuban Revolution and the cause of socialism are based. (Text and photo: PL)
