Havana, September 20 (RHC)—Cuba will provide appropriate and opportune response to the expulsion by Washington  of two diplomats from the island’s mission to the United Nations, and the additional restriction of movement imposed to its personnel, the island’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla said.

Speaking at a press conference in Havana on Friday, the minister made a call to the international community, particularly to the diplomatic community accredited to the UN in New York and the American people in general, to repudiate these actions that are gross violations of the Geneva Convention on Diplomatic Relations and aggressive actions politically motivated which seek to damage bilateral relations.

The island’s top diplomat said that the announcement made on Twitter by the State Department Spokeswoman elicit the strongest rejection from the Cuban people, foreign ministry and government, because their justifications are unfounded and illegitimate.

Rodriguez said the measures were adopted before being officially informed to the Cuban mission, and added that they are the work of an anti-Cuban and reactionary group that has full ownership of  US policy against Cuba and Latin America.

“It is impossible to ignore that these actions are related to electoral interests,” he said.
