In its website statement, the Foreign Ministry urged respect for the integrity and security of diplomatic missions based in the Arab nation.

“We are in constant contact with our diplomatic staff, who are doing well, complying with the plans established for this type of contingency, with a lot of discipline, unity, and commitment,” the Minrex said.

It also noted that it has followed with great concern the events that have taken place in the Syrian Arab Republic, which have led to the overthrow of the Government of Bashar Al-Assad by armed opposition groups.

The day before, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel made a similar statement on X and reported that he had spoken with the Cuban ambassador in Damascus.
