Havana, Feb 5 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel affirmed today that his country remains open to dialogue with the United States, based on respect for its sovereignty, independence and self-determination.
He noted that his government is willing to discuss any topic, without pressure or preconditions, to build a civilized relationship between neighbors, which would bring benefits to the people of both nations.
Cubans do not hate the American people; we recognize the values of their history and culture, added the Cuban head of state at a press conference broadcast today on national television.
When we have had the opportunity to create spaces for encounter between our peoples in different sectors—scientific, sporting, religious, cultural, health, and even political dialogue—we have found that there are many things we can work on together, without prejudice, that can contribute a great deal, he noted.
“How many things are we depriving both our peoples of because of this decadent, arrogant and criminal policy of blockade, which is getting worse,” he reflected.
That is our position, it is also a position of continuity and I believe it is possible, the president concluded.
