With a tweet from Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel to the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) Summit in Mexico City, Cuba offered its best wishes for a period of hope and unity in diversity.
The Cuban delegation to the event, led by Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, called on the regional group to revitalize collaboration among member countries and consolidate integration.
At the Mexico City forum of foreign ministers and government officials, Rodríguez emphasized support for the pro tempore presidency of CELAC that Mexico assumes this year.
"We reaffirm our commitment to the Mexican administration at the head of this mechanism devoted to political coordination and Latin American and Caribbean integration," he tweeted.
He also posted several tweets about bilateral meetings with Venezuela's Vice President Jorge Rodríguez, Panama's Foreign Minister Alejandro Ferrer López, Nicaragua's Foreign Minister Denis Moncada and Peru's Foreign Minister Gustavo Meza-Cuadra, as well as Argentina’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Religion, Felipe Sola.
During all these encounters, Cuba’s Foreign Minister advocated consolidating ties, promoting collaboration in areas of common interest and identifying possibilities for the development of economic relations among the region’s nations.
Anayansi Rodríguez, deputy foreign minister and Cuba’s national coordinator for CELAC, also met with Efraín Guadarrama, Mexico’s general director of Regional Organizations and Mechanisms, accompanied by Pedro Núñez Mosquera, Cuban ambassador in the country.
The CELAC Summit is taking place in the context of a complex international situation, with threats of war in the Middle East, protests in Latin America against neoliberal measures implemented by pro-imperialist governments, and an ecological crisis with natural disasters never before seen.
