HAVANA, March 4 (Xinhua) -- Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Wednesday urged an immediate end to the violation of international law amid the military escalation in the Middle East.

"Cuba joins international calls to immediately end the violation of international law resulting from the aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran and Lebanon, involving political assassinations and indiscriminate attacks," Diaz-Canel said on X.

He said that Cuba advocates respect for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations in the region, and urges a cessation of acts causing human casualties and damage to the civil infrastructure of the Gulf states, with which Cuba maintains ties of friendship and cooperation.

"Cuba ratifies the call to preserve the principle of good neighborliness, moderation and dialogue at this delicate moment," Diaz-Canel said. ■
