By opening the photographic exhibition “Fidel Castro: Guerrilla of Time” at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’s headquarters, the top diplomat reflected on the work and validity of Fidel Castro, who he considered the greatest political leader of the 20th century and most of the 21st.

Gil recommended turning to the Cuban Commander-in-Chief because “we will always find an answer in him. he had to face the worst storms and the toughest of them, still in force, such as the economic, financial, and commercial US blockade” against Cuba.

In that sense, the FM described that policy as “the most unjust action that humanity has known in the last 60 years against a noble and struggling country.”

The minister noted that the Martiano and Bolivarian people only left their borders to liberate, teach, and heal, sending doctors, professors, and fighters for just causes “without expecting anything in return, nothing more than internationalism as a flag.”

Meanwhile, Havana’s Ambassador to Caracas Dagoberto Rodriguez recalled the meeting of the Cuban leader with Commander Hugo Chavez in 1994, from which, he said, a friendship and a significant historical reason began, which was not limited to Venezuela and Cuba, but to the entire region and continents.
