Referring to the remarks made by the US government to the communist island, the official insisted that the way the Cuban political system "is not on the discussion table" is organized.
Pedroso said that Cuba expressed concerns about the persistence of patterns of discrimination and racism, police brutality, and documented numerous violations of life, and ruled on the situation of trade union rights in US
The Caribbean country drew attention to "acts of torture in secret prisons" civilian deaths resulting from the use of drones and questioned "especially" the permanence of a US naval base in the Cuban province of Guantanamo "and serious violations committed there. "
"While the exchange found profound differences between the two governments regarding the concepts and the exercise of human rights, Cuba ratified its will that both countries can relate in the recognition and respect for those differences," he said.
