                                                <p>Cuba's Foreign

by Covid-19.</p>

<p>In an official statement, the Cuban government representative stated 
that Washington's hostility towards his country cannot affect Cuban 
solidarity with nations in need.</p>                                                      
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>On his official 
Twitter account, Parrilla denounced the U.S. allegations about Cuba's 
reasons for providing medical aid and medicines. According to the 
Cuban Foreign Minister, these statements show the little credibility of 
the U.S. government. He also qualifies this as inhumane as the 
permanence of the blockade during the exceptional situation due to the 
virus spreading.</p>                                                      
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>“Unfortunately, while
 Covid-19 threatens humanity, the U.S. government is hindering the 
combat of the epidemic by attacking countries that practice solidarity 
and international cooperation instead of ending the illegal system of 
unilateral coercive measures, such as the blockade vs Cuba” Parrilla 
tweeted.</p>

<p>In other publications, the Cuban diplomat said: "Cuba promotes peace,
 health, life. We are proud of our health professionals who from this 
Island or different corners of the world joined the fight against the

                                                <p>According to Cuban 
media, the political persecution and ideological campaign against Cuban 
doctors began with the suspension of aid programs in Brazil, Ecuador, 
and Bolivia.  Cuban doctors serve in 65 nations, many of them affected 
by the virus.</p>                                                 
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>In his complaint, 
Parrilla also mentioned that the U.S. government is pressuring the aid 
recipient states to refuse the island's health services. He mentioned 
that Cuba considers it immoral and unacceptable that the dignity and 
professionalism of its health care workers be questioned.</p>
