Cuba expresses solidarity with Mexico after siege of embassy in Quito

Havana, Apr 6 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel expressed his solidarity with Mexico on Saturday in the face of the unacceptable violation of that country’s Embassy in Quito.

“The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which is an essential component of International Law, must be respected by all,” the head of State wrote on his X account.

Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, in turn, noted on the same social network that the incursion of Ecuadorian military forces into the Mexican Embassy is a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the right to asylum and Mexico’s sovereignty.

The general director of the Latin American and Caribbean Directorate at Cuba’s Foreign Ministry Eugenio Martínez, described the incident as a transgression of essential norms of diplomatic relations between States and noted that such actions trample on International Law and are a danger.

According to Mexican Pesident Andrés Manuel López Obrador, this is a flagrant violation of international law and the sovereignty of his country.

The Mexican head of State instructed the Foreign Secretariat to issue a statement regarding this authoritarian act, proceed legally and immediately declare the suspension of diplomatic relations with the Government of Ecuador.
