Statement by Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, during the presentation of Draft Resolution “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”
New York, November 2, 2023.
Mr. President;
Excellencies;
Distinguished delegates;
The blockade violates the right to life, health, education and the well-being of all Cuban men and women. It is felt by our families who endure the shortage of supplies in our stores, long queues, sky-rocketing prices or devalued salaries.
