Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel expressed gratitude Sunday for Mexico's solidarity and steadfast support of the Cuban people's resistance. In a post on the social media platform X, the Cuban leader highlighted the permanent and decisive backing of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, describing it as a reflection of the deep friendship between the two nations.

"I am in retirement, but it wounds me to see attempts to exterminate the brotherly people of Cuba for their ideals of freedom and defense of sovereignty," Obrador wrote in his own post on X.

"To those who believe this is someone else's dispute, I remind them of what General Cárdenas said during the Bay of Pigs invasion: 'It is not permissible to advocate our indifference to their heroic struggle, because their fate is our own,'" he added.

The former Mexican president also called on the general public to make donations to an account held by the civil association Humanidad con América Latina, established by writers and journalists to purchase supplies for the Cuban people.

"Let everyone contribute what they can!" he concluded.
