CUBAN President Miguel Diaz-Canel slammed the US embassy in Havana on Monday, accusing Washington of using it as an outpost to subvert his government in breach of the Vienna Convention.

He alleged that officials there hold frequent meetings with the country’s counter-revolutionary forces and issue statements on social media in breach of the convention, which prohibits diplomats from meddling in other states’ internal affairs.

“The US embassy in Cuba insists on its sad and shameful role of subverting the internal order in our country,” Mr Diaz-Canel said.
