These policies are based on disinformation, and driven by the U.S. government, he added.



He praised the role played by the bloc in confronting COVID-19 and in particular Cuba’s effort to help other nations and share its vaccines.

Sacha Llorenti is about to conclude an intense work agenda in Cuba, where he met with President Miguel Díaz-Canel, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, and other government officials and civil society personalities.
