Chính sách đối ngoại của Cách mạng Cuba: Di sản của sự kiên cường

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical foundations and ideological structure shaping the foreign policy of the Cuban Revolution, emphasizing its continuity with the nation’s long struggle for independence and sovereignty. From the legacy of the Mambí Army, the republican resistance, and José Martí’s ideal of national unity, Cuban diplomacy first emerged as a tool to seek recognition from the Latin American community. After the January 1959 Revolution, this policy was systematically consolidated, oriented toward building an independent, sovereign diplomacy grounded in the core principles of international law, such as noninterference, sovereign equality, peace promotion, and solidarity for development. Influenced by Marxist thought and Cuba’s unique geostrategic position, the country became an active player in international affairs, including the Missile Crisis, the Non-Aligned Movement, and solidarity campaigns in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. The study particularly underscores the central role of Cuba’s struggle against the U.S. economic and financial blockade—a policy that has caused severe harm to the Cuban people’s livelihood. The article also highlights Cuba’s consistent foreign policy positions on the global stage: rejecting all forms of hegemony and intervention, demanding the return of Guantánamo, safeguarding sovereignty, and advocating for a multipolar, fair, and democratic world order.
