Cairo, October 25, 2026. More than a dozen Egyptian newspapers have reported on the press conference held on October 21 by Cuba’s ambassador, Alexander Pellicer Moraga.

The published articles reported that on October 28, Cuba will once again submit for a vote in the UN General Assembly the draft resolution calling for an end to the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States. The reports also highlighted the immense damage caused by the blockade imposed on Cuba for more than six decades, which, at current prices, amounts to more than $178.7 billion. Taking into account the sharp rise in the price of gold relative to the dollar, the cumulative total amounts to more than 3.8 trillion in gold value.

Cairo, October 21, 2026. The financial, economic, and trade embargo imposed by the United States for more than 60 years is the main obstacle to Cuba’s development, the island’s ambassador to Egypt, Alexander Pellicer Moraga, denounced here today.

This punitive measure is the basis of the policy of maximum pressure adopted by Washington against the Caribbean nation to undermine its economy and generate internal discontent, Pellicer stated during a press conference in the capital attended by more than a dozen representatives of Egyptian media outlets.
