Cuba denounced before the Council of OPANAL, an agency headquartered in Mexico, that the economic warfare and energy blockade currently maintained by the United States against the island pose direct threats to peace.

Speaking at the 365th Meeting of the Council of the Agency for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (OPANAL), Yení García, Second Secretary of the Cuban Embassy in Mexico, updated member nations on the situation in her country.

She pointed out that the unprecedented escalation of aggressive measures from Washington causes severe hardships and aims to destabilize the country and provoke a U.S. military intervention or confrontation in the largest island of the Antilles.

According to information shared on X by the Caribbean nation's diplomatic mission, the delegate reaffirmed the Cuban government's commitment to continue actively contributing to the Agency's work and maintained that the island is a nation of peace.

In this regard, she highlighted Cuba's historical defense of multilateralism and its commitment to promoting peace and security in the region.

The island's representative emphasized the growing threatening rhetoric against Cuba by the U.S. administration and presented arguments regarding the intensification of unilateral coercive measures against the Cuban people, including the energy blockade.

Furthermore, she warned that military aggression against the Caribbean nation would carry incalculable consequences for both countries, the region, and international peace and security.

She stressed that actions against the island constitute a serious violation of regional and international peace and security, International Law, and the principles of the historic proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace.
