The president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, reaffirmed his country's commitment to international solidarity movements on Monday, stressing that the support received from various latitudes imposes on the country the responsibility not to disappoint those who see the island as a reference for resistance.

Through his social networks, the Cuban president indicated that the Cuban people will maintain their conviction to be a place of hope in the Caribbean for all those who aspire to a better world, Telesur reports on its website.

Díaz-Canel's statements coincide with his closing speech at the International Solidarity Meeting, held on May 2, in which the head of state described solidarity as the “tenderness of peoples” and a “strategic rear” in the face of the American encirclement.

During his speech, he denounced the intensification of pressure policies in the United States, placing special emphasis on recent executive orders that seek to suffocate the energy and financial sectors of the Caribbean nation, as well as the unfair inclusion of Cuba in the list of countries that supposedly sponsor terrorism.
