Cuba's Foreign Policy Adheres to the Basic Principles of the International Law, Cuban Ambassador Said in Colombo SRI LANKA, January 30th , 2012. Cuba´s foreign policy adheres to the basic principles of the International Law: respect to States´ sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity; peoples´ self-determination; the equality of states and peoples; rejection to the interference in the States´ internal affairs; the right to international cooperation, equitable and mutual; the pacific relations between the States, and other principles consecrated in the Letter of the United Nations, said the ambassador of the Island Nirsia Castro Guevara during a lecture offered by her at the Bandaranaike Institute for International Studies in this capital. With the theme "The diplomacy of the Cuban Revolution" the Head of Mission recalled the creation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on December 23, 1959 by decree of the Revolutionary Government which ended the State Department imposed on the island during the first U.S. occupation. he stressed the tireless work of the Foreign Ministry for 52 years to implement the principles defended by the Revolution at all times guided by its leaders: Fidel Castro, Ernesto Guevara (Che), Raul Castro, and the first diplomat who defended his motherland with his own life: José Marti. The ambassador noted that a Cuban diplomat never is going to miss the opportunity to denounce the aggressive policy pursued by the U.S.A against his country since the triumph of the revolution, the cruel economic, commercial and financial blockade that is close to have 50 years in existence and the unjust imprisonment of five Cuban antiterrorist fighters in the U.S.A for more than 13 years now, victims of shameful injustice.
