Statement from the Association of Sri Lankan Graduates in Cuba in Support of the Vote on the Cuban Resolution Against the US Blockade, October 28 and 29, 2025
The Sri Lankan Alumni Association in Cuba condemns the unjust and illegal economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba for more than six decades. These unilateral measures constitute a violation of the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the sovereignty of nations.
We join in supporting Cuba in the upcoming vote on the Cuban Resolution demanding an end to the embargo, at the United Nations General Assembly on October 28 and 29, 2025.
The embargo has caused extensive economic damage and suffering to the Cuban people.
The Association of Sri Lankan Graduates in Cuba urges the United States to lift the embargo immediately and unconditionally and to respect the right of the Cuban people to determine their own development path.
As professionals graduated in Cuba, we fully trust in the capacity and commitment of the Cuban government and people to overcome the difficult economic situation, despite the embargo.
From Sri Lanka, we express our support for the Cuban people and our solidarity.
Long live Cuba!
Colombo, October 14, 2025
