HAVANA, Cuba.- Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied the alleged link between Cuban diplomatic personnel and the violent events that took place at the Venezuelan Embassy in Brazil.

A statement by the Cuban Chargé d’affaires in Brazil warns: “We debunk the slander disseminated on social media and in Globo, which seek to involve the Chargé d’affaires of Cuba in Brazil, with the events that occurred on the morning of November 13 in the Embassy of Venezuela in Brazilia, when there was the violent entry of external personnel to that Mission.

Cuban diplomats scrupulously respect the letter and spirit of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic and Consular Relations, while requesting that it be respected.
