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.
Cuba has been warning about the growing escalation by the United States government against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which clearly seeks to overthrow the constitutional government of President Nicolás Maduro Moros and establish a servile government willing to surrender Venezuela’s oil, key natural resources, and national sovereignty to the United States.
