The Cuban ambassador to Argentina, Pedro Pablo Prada, asserted in Buenos Aires that Latin American and Caribbean integration and unity continue to be one of the most urgent tasks that we must undertake without fear or reservation.
During a discussion organized by the National University of Lanús, the diplomat affirmed that the region “has, by its own right, the destiny of becoming a great nation, prosperous and strong, sustained by the virtue of its children.”
“We have to carry out this task every day, sowing values and ideas, knowing that we will do so under the threat of an empire that is not interested in an independent America,” he said.
Prada warned about the attempts by the United States and other powers to impose a colonial vision and to separate and confront the countries of the area. He said that “no matter how much they try to divide us, we have a geography, a history and a culture that unite us in a great diversity and we must fight for that to prevail.”
Cuba’s envoy to Buenos Aires highlighted the historical ties and friendship existing between Cuba and Argentina, strengthened by the will of their peoples and manifested in the island’s support for the sovereign claim of this nation over the Malvinas Islands, among many other issues.
And Havana’s representative in Argentina condemned the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba for more than six decades, which has serious consequences for the people of the Caribbean island nation.
The Cuban ambassador assured that his country is an inseparable part of the Patria Grande and urged to defend unity in diversity with solidarity and social justice.
“Latin Americans have the right to take charge of their own destinies without interference. May the spirit prevail when our region was proclaimed as a zone of peace, which sums up the vocation to identify ourselves with each other, to understand that we are children of the same land and that everything that tends to confront us and separate us harms us.”
