Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez issued a strong response to Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa, who claimed that his government had «sufficient evidence» of alleged «Cuban interference» in internal affairs, justifying the recent expulsion of Cuba’s diplomatic delegation.

«There was considerable interference from Cuba in political activities, including dissent and even violent actions in some cases,» stated the Ecuadorian leader, prompting an immediate reaction from Minister Bruno Rodríguez.

«The President of Ecuador is known for his tendency to disregard and violate international law, particularly the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The assault on the Mexican Embassy in Quito and the beating of a diplomatic official from that mission are clear evidence of this,» asserted the Cuban foreign minister.

«Now,» he added, «he cynically lies with fabricated excuses regarding the actions of Cuban diplomatic personnel in that nation and boasts about their expulsion.»

According to Rodríguez, Noboa acted «with evident servility to please the U.S. government.»
