New York, October 23, 2018. The Permanent Mission of Cuba to the United Nations, inaugurated today the exhibit "Cuba builds its future," which shows the work of Cubans and the achievements of the Revolution, despite the criminal economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed by the United States against the island, a vile policy of the US government that flagrantly violates the human rights of the Cuban people.
The exhibit, composed of infographics describing validated data of Cuban achievements in health care, education, social inclusion of women, among others, shows the battle of the island against all types of discrimination, the process of constitutional reform as a full exercise of democracy, as well as the Cuban international cooperation policy.
The opening words of the event were delivered by the Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, Ambassador Anayansi Rodríguez Camejo, who took the opportunity to call on her counterparts to vote in favor of the draft resolution to be submitted by the island on October 31 at the General Assembly, demanding the Government of the United States, for the 27th consecutive occasion, to end the blockade on Cuba, the main obstacle to the development of the country and its economic relations with the rest of the world, including the United States.
The event was attended by more than 100 representatives of the missions accredited to the United Nations, members of solidarity groups with Cuba in the United States, correspondents of the press accredited to the UN, and officials of the world organization.
