...province] there was an unjust attempt to blame that event on Cuba, in spite of the fact that I explained to the U.S. representative here that we were absolutely opposed to what had happened. On the eve of the sixth summit [of nonaligned countries in Havana last September] the problem of the Soviet "brigade" was created.
