Cubans in Uruguay honor the Revolution’s anniversary

Cuba’s embassy staff and Cubans residing in Uruguay jointly marked here the upcoming 66th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, voicing their confidence in the future of their homeland. 

Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador Jorge Marti, acting Charge d’Affaires at the Cuban Embassy in Uruguay, said despite the complex situation facing his country, “Cuba will continue to stand up, show solidarity, and overcome the adversities imposed by the US blockade tightened by the United States.”

The Cuban diplomat denounced Washington’s attempts to stifle his country financially, by including it in a unilateral State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list.

He said this is a criminal pretext to cut off all of the Caribbean nation’s bank transactions and relations, in a bid to prevent its basic purchases for an entire people and thwart its development plans.

Marti stressed that in the face of these circumstances, Cuba is resisting and improving itself, faithful to its principle of social justice.

The Cuban ambassador highlighted the contribution of Cuban residents in Uruguay, as they cement ties with the diplomatic mission and their homeland.
