The Revolutionary Government denounces the escalation of actions by the United States government to justify military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The accumulation and increase of military resources and personnel in the Caribbean Sea, the use of force to attack civilian vessels and kill their crews, and the unjustified interception and detention of a ship, in violation of international norms, confirm the hostile and irresponsible nature of the ongoing operation.
Added to this is the dissemination of psychological warfare messages by the U.S. government in an attempt to legitimize these actions in the eyes of public opinion under the crude pretext that Venezuela represents a threat to U.S. national security and the well-being of its citizens.
The U.S. Secretary of State, congressmen, and senators, who are also responsible for the current genocidal escalation in Gaza, are attempting to impose their interests by force in Venezuela, which is unjustifiable and dangerous.
The real objective of these actions is to take control of Venezuela’s oil and resources.
Cuba has repeatedly warned that the deployment of U.S. military forces in the Caribbean Sea in recent weeks constitutes an act of provocation and is intended to trigger a military conflict that would force the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
A direct military aggression against Venezuela would have incalculable consequences for the peace, stability, and security of Our America.
No government can be allowed to resort to the threat or use of force in contravention of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law.
It is urgent to separate lies from reality.
Cuba urges international mobilization to prevent aggression and preserve Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, as proclaimed by its heads of state and government.

(Verbatim versions – Presidency of the Republic)

Dear Nicolas:

I wanted to thank you, first of all, for calling us to this meeting and for being there. What we celebrate today is much more than the anniversary of an Agreement; it is the rebirth of Bolivar’s dream, to which [José] Martí also devoted all his energies; and I believe this is the moment when the integration of Our America, for which he fought so hard, has been the closest to becoming a reality.

Although it is not yet in our history books, the signing of the Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement between Cuba and Venezuela is a historic event and what we are commemorating today is also a historic event. Among other things, because it is an act of independence that marks a new era for Latin America and the Caribbean; it is a time of exchange among equals, of turning words into actions, of expressing solidarity in concrete works for the benefit of the peoples. It is also the seed from which the ALBA tree would sprout.

The visionary decision of two great leaders such as Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz and Commander Hugo Chávez Frías, of signing this document, can be better appreciated 20 years after the will of two sovereign governments that do not bow to imperial pressures became a reality.

Some 155 Venezuelan doctors will conclude their specialty training in Cuba in 2020, a great opportunity for the country considering the strengths of Cuban medical education, according to Yanet Torrealba Cordero, deputy director of the Health Ministry’s Research and Education Directorate, who, noted some key characteristics of the Cuban system, saying, “Their experience in the missions, their experience in the Revolution, in a different system of equity and equality, not mercantilist, but social.”
She is also responsible for the Specialist Training Project within the Comprehensive Cuba-Venezuela Cooperation Agreement, adding that this step means strengthening the system with the required talent, a demand initiated by President Chávez.
“Our brothers in Cuba have been strategic allies for our health network, both in the medical training of General Practitioners (MGI) and these specialists,” she added.
Dr. Fernando González Isla, head of the Cuban Medical Mission in Venezuela, said that in recent years more than 24,000 community doctors have been trained in Venezuela, now working alongside 21,000 Cuban doctors, contributing to the construction of an ideal health care system, imagined by our Comandantes Fidel and Chávez.
The greatest contribution of the Barrio Adentro mission, he said, is the training of human resources with a network of institutions that has created conditions to advance the principles established, with accessibility to services as a basic premise.
Since the beginning of Cuban medical solidarity in Venezuela, more than 140,000 health care professionals have participated, a large portion of the 220,000 total collaborating in a variety of sectors and areas of cooperation
