Havana, September 11 (RHC)-- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel evoked several events that took place on September 11, in different years and latitudes but united by their painful balance.

Diaz-Canel called the date onTwitter a 'day of painful memory' and listed some events, such as the coup d'état in Chile and the death of President Salvador Allende in 1973.

He also recalled the martyrs of the Caribbean nation's foreign service, on the 41st anniversary of the assassination of Cuban diplomat Félix García,  assistant to the Cuban mission to the United Nations, who was machine-gunned in his car in the middle of a public street, on this day in 1980.

The President also dedicated remarks to all the victims of terrorism in the world on the 20th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York, United States, and other places in that country, which caused thousands of deaths.

In another message on the social media platform, Díaz-Canel reprised words of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, who, on September 11, 2001, himself stated that none of the world's current problems could be solved by force.

There is no global power, no technological power, no military power that can guarantee total immunity against such acts', emphasized the statesman at that time.

The Cuban leader also evoked Commander Juan Almeida on the 12th anniversary of his death and described him as an indispensable member of the Revolution.

Almeida was one of the young men who accompanied Fidel Castro in the assault on the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de Cuba on July 26, 1953, which marked the beginning of the struggle to overthrow the tyranny Fulgencio Batista .
