JAKARTA - Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said his country is ready to discuss various issues with the United States without demanding changes to the Cuban political system.
"We are interested in dialogue and discussing any topic without conditions, without demanding changes to our political system, just as we do not demand changes to the American system," Diaz-Canel said in an interview with NBC, reported by Sputnik, Friday, April 10.
He said Cuba and the US could focus on dialogue on matters of mutual interest and increase mutual understanding.
Diaz-Canel accused the US of maintaining a hostile attitude towards Cuba. He also stated that the US had no moral authority to criticize the conditions in the Caribbean country.
He said the US policy was responsible for the current conditions in Cuba.
Earlier this week, Diaz-Canel said dialogue with the US was still possible. He assessed that the US had no reason to carry out a military aggression against Cuba.
On January 29, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to impose import tariffs on countries supplying oil to Cuba.
Trump also declared a state of emergency on the grounds of a threat to US national security from Cuba.
The Cuban government stated that the US was using an energy blockade to suppress its country's economy and worsen the living conditions of the people.
