In this historic period our people have honored and continue to honor, firmly and without any hesitation the principles of proletarian internationalism and our duties to the world revolutionary movement.
Internationalism is an integral part of the revolutionary experience and ideology.
In fact the Cubans feel that one cannot build a new society if one is not willing to sacrifice on behalf of others. Internationalism, as such is an index of the revolutionary commitments and convictions of the nation as a whole.
