Mr. President;
Distinguished Permanent Representatives;
Esteemed delegates;
Oslo, October 30, 2024. Called by the Association of Friendship with Cuba in Norway, a protest demonstration against the US blockade on Cuba took place on October 28 in the 7th of June square, located in front of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The action took place on the eve of the consideration by the UN General Assembly, for the thirty-second time, of the draft resolution establishing the necessity of ending that genocidal policy implemented by the US government against Cuba for more than sixty years.
Statement by the Norway-Cuba Friendship Association, published by its leader, Cihan Karakoc, on his profile on X:
The Norwegian- Cuban Friendship Association send its eternal support & solidarity to Cuba and the Cuban people against the 60 years long criminal US blockade. The darkness that covered Cuba in recent days is the darkness of the blockade which prevents Cubas national development.
