In a message posted on social media, Martínez Enríquez emphasized that officials from the Office of the President and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are working together with the Cuban diplomatic mission to ensure that the support arrives effectively. 

In this regard, the Cuban diplomat expressed his gratitude for the solidarity shown by Mexico and the sincere willingness of its government to provide assistance at this historic moment for both nations.

“As President Claudia Sheinbaum reported , directors and officials from the Office of the President and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have been coordinating with us to ensure the delivery of material aid to Cuba . We deeply appreciate the solidarity with our people and the sincere willingness to help Cuba in this difficult time,” the ambassador wrote in his message shared on social media.

The statement came after the Mexican president confirmed on Friday that her administration will send humanitarian aid to Cuba in the coming days, despite threats from the White House occupant, Donald J. Trump. 

Sheinbaum specified that the shipment could be made during this same weekend or, at the latest, on Monday, in response to the urgent needs facing the Cuban people.

The Mexican government stated that this act is part of a tradition of cooperation and solidarity between both nations, honoring the historical ties agreed upon by the two countries. 

For Cuba , Mexico ‘s support represents significant assistance during times of tension, while for Mexico it constitutes a reaffirmation of its foreign policy based on solidarity and mutual respect.
