00:00In this context, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a meeting with his Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodriguez Barrilla.
00:06At this occasion, Lavrov projected accusations that cooperation between Russia and Cuba poses a threat to the U.S. or
00:14other countries.
00:15In addition, Moscow declared that it will continue to support Havana in defending its sovereignty and security.
00:21For his part, the Cuban Foreign Minister expressed that the island will continue to implement joint projects and agreements with
00:28Russia despite the difficulties.
00:30In this scenario, Bruno Rodriguez reaffirmed that the Cuban government is open to dialogue with any country on the basis
00:36of respect for self-determination.
00:38The Cuban Foreign Minister is expected to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin today.
00:48Together with the majority of the world community, we call on the United States to show common sense and a
00:54responsible approach,
00:55and to refrain from plans for a naval blockade of the Iceland of freedom.
01:02I want to reiterate the absolute unacceptability of the U.S. decree stating that Cuba possesses a threat to U
01:11.S. national interest.
01:14And in the same decree, it is written that this threat is aggravated by your cooperation with us,
01:22with Russia, which this decree calls a hostile and malicious state.
