Havana, May 22 (Latin Press) Cuba”s Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodriguez, expressed today in a message on Twitter that the proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace should guide the defense of sovereignty.
‘The proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace, its platform for defending the principles of international law and sovereign equality, its resolute pronouncement against war and violence and in favour of peace, should be useful for us for the defence of our common sovereignty,’ he wrote in his Twitter account @BrunoRguezP.
On Tuesday, the Political Council of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) met in Havana, where the regional bloc reasserted its support for the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela and its constitutional president, Nicolás Maduro.
