In a press conference on October 22, 2025, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, addressed the international community regarding the upcoming United Nations General Assembly sessions on October 28 and 29. The sessions will focus on a resolution titled ‘Necessity of ending the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba.’ Rodríguez Parrilla emphasized that this resolution represents a nearly unanimous global call to end the U.S. blockade, which has been overwhelmingly rejected by the UN for decades. He accused the U.S. government of intensifying economic aggression against Cuba and employing coercive tactics to pressure other nations into altering their traditional support for the resolution. Rodríguez Parrilla presented evidence of what he described as a ‘mendacious and slanderous’ misinformation campaign by the U.S. State Department, aimed at distorting Cuba’s image and intimidating member states. He highlighted a leaked State Department document that included threats and misinformation, such as claims that Cuba is a ‘threat to international peace and security.’ Rodríguez Parrilla refuted these allegations, asserting that the blockade is the primary cause of Cuba’s economic challenges and a violation of international law. He expressed confidence that the international community would once again vote overwhelmingly in favor of ending the blockade, calling it a victory for justice and humanity.

In a significant move to bolster diplomatic and media relations, a high-profile Vietnamese media delegation recently concluded a working visit to Cuba. This visit, which took place from October 16th to 21st, 2025, was part of the ongoing exchange programs between the official newspapers of the Communist Parties of Cuba and Vietnam—Granma and Nhan Dan, respectively. The visit coincided with the upcoming 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations, set to be commemorated in December 2025. The delegation’s agenda was packed with activities aimed at fostering mutual understanding and collaboration. Key highlights included participation in the First Granma-Rebelde Festival, where both media outlets showcased their work alongside other significant platforms from Cuba and around the world. Yoerky Sánchez Cuellar, a member of the Central Committee and editor-in-chief of Granma, expressed deep admiration for the Vietnamese people and thanked them for their financial support to Cuba amidst renewed economic challenges. He also highlighted the successful outcomes of the collaboration between the two newspapers, including the creation of a special microsite titled ‘Cuba and Vietnam: The Walk,’ which has published over 80 articles. Dinh Song Linh, head of the Science and Environment Department at Nhan Dan, led the delegation and outlined the latest organizational developments at his media outlet. He emphasized the potential for further collaboration in areas such as artificial intelligence training, content exchange, and the establishment of a special Cuba-Vietnam fund at the Granma Documentation and Archive Center. The delegation also toured various sites, including the Fidel Castro Ruz Center, Vietnamese companies in the Mariel Development Zone, and rice-growing areas in Pinar del Río, where cultivation is carried out with Vietnamese expertise. These visits underscored the practical benefits of the bilateral relationship, particularly in economic and agricultural sectors. The working meeting concluded with specific points for advancing the collaboration agenda, including the signing of a memorandum of understanding and the revitalization of content exchange. The visit not only reinforced the strong bond between the two nations but also set the stage for future cooperation in media and beyond.
