Josefina Vidal referred specifically to the presidential directive issued by U.S. President Barack Obama, in which he explicitly says the aim is to make “irreversible” his administration’s changes towards Cuba.
Josefina Vidal says that while the text recognizes Cuba’s sovereignty, independence and self-determination, it does not hide Washington’s overall aim to promote economic, political and social changes in Cuba.
The Cuban diplomat reiterated Cuba’s willingness to develop mutually beneficial cooperation relations with the U.S. government as equals, based on respect, reciprocity and non-interference in the countries’ internal affairs.
