Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a forceful statement during an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, denouncing what it described as military aggression by the United States against Venezuela and reaffirming Havana’s political and diplomatic support for Caracas.

According to an excerpt shared by Cuba’s official diplomatic channels, Cuban representatives asserted that only the people of Venezuela have the legitimate right to determine their national destiny, rejecting what they characterized as foreign interference. The statement accused the U.S. government of lacking moral authority and alleged that its actions demonstrated disregard for Venezuelan lives, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

Cuba further emphasized its continued adherence to the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, a regional agreement aimed at preventing armed conflict and external intervention. In its remarks, Havana called for firm and determined action in defense of international law, arguing that the current situation demands a unified commitment to peace and stability across the Americas.

The statement concluded by framing Cuba’s position as part of a broader effort to safeguard peace not only for Venezuela, but for all nations in Latin America, the Caribbean, and beyond. The message was circulated publicly under the hashtag #CubaConVenezuela, signaling continued political alignment between the Cuban and Venezuelan governments amid heightened regional tensions.
