Havana, Oct 30 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on Friday reiterated the United States his country's willingness to maintain effective cooperation in the investigation regarding the alleged health incidents involving US diplomats in Havana.

On his Twitter account, the foreign minister pointed out that the US government is refusing to share information, 'while speculations continue without scientifically and politically motivated evidence.'

On February 17, 2017, the Department of State and the US Embassy in Cuba informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cuban diplomatic headquarters in Washington about alleged occurrence of sonic attacks between November 2016 and February 2017.

With that justification, they practically closed services at the US diplomatic headquarters in Havana, forcing Cubans to turn to third States for their procedures; while they expelled duly accredited officials from the Embassy of the Caribbean nation in Washington.

The foreign minister has ratified on several times that Cuba has scrupulously complied with the obligation to protect the integrity, dignity and normal functioning of a diplomatic mission, its personnel and families.

In parallel, Cuban researchers began an exhaustive study, indicated by the top leadership of the Cuban Government, which showed that there was neither attack nor deliberate act.
