Brazilian Foreign Affairs Minister Mauro Vieira on Monday expressed his country's opposition to US threats against Cuba, and called for differences to be resolved through diplomacy and respect for international law.

Regarding possible US military intervention in Cuba, Vieira said he hopes it will not come to that, and the better option is "negotiation and dialogue."

He noted that the country opposes any type of foreign threat against the Caribbean island, preferring that differences be resolved through diplomacy.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva urged respect for Cuban sovereignty during his recent visit to Washington, the minister said. "The president referred to Cuba, saying that it is a society that deserves to be respected ... We want balance in the region and for all differences to be resolved through negotiation and diplomacy," said Vieira.

Latin America must be preserved as a zone of dialogue and cooperation to avoid any escalation in geopolitical tensions, he stressed.
