Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel led military exercises on Defense Day, emphasizing that the island is at a decisive moment, requiring rigorous practical preparation in the face of external aggression. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez asserted that Cuba “poses no threat to any country” and that its foreign policy is “peaceful, supportive, and committed to peace, friendship, and cooperation,” denouncing as slander the “United States’ claim that it feels threatened by a nation the size of Cuba.”
“We are at a decisive moment,” the president told students from the “Eliseo Reyes Rodríguez” Higher Institute of the Ministry of the Interior, who were conducting a demonstration exercise involving the assembly, disassembly, and firing of infantry weapons, the Cuban presidency reported in a statement.
