The Cuban foreign minister stated that “the only publicly announced outcome is the signing by the attendees of a servile and dishonorable document that advocates the use of military force, particularly that of the United States, as a repressive weapon against criminal cartels in each country and to quell internal and border problems.”
Bruno Rodríguez considered it “a clear and dangerous setback in the long and difficult independence process of the Latin American and Caribbean peoples.”
The top Cuban diplomat stated that the meeting “represents a grave threat to peace, security, stability, and regional integrity, and a blatant violation of the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace.”
