Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, paid tribute today in Caracas to the Venezuelan and Cuban combatants who fell defending Venezuela during the military aggression perpetrated by the United States.

"I came from Cuba to pay an emotional tribute to the Venezuelan combatants who fell in battle defending the Bolivarian and Chavista Revolution and the sacred Venezuelan homeland; to express an emotional tribute to the Cuban combatants who, in an uneven fight, confronted the imperialist enemy that profaned the sovereignty of the Venezuelan homeland," he stated.

Finally, the head of Cuban Diplomacy assured that "we will continue with our work in defense of peace, in international mobilization, in the campaign in defense of International Law and for the liberation of the constitutional president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores."
