Vietnam joins international community in calling for end to US blockage against Cuba
Minister Counsellor Nguyễn Hải Lưu, Deputy Permanent Representative of Việt Nam to the United Nations (UN), has reaffirmed Việt Nam’s consistent position in support of the immediate, complete and unconditional lifting of US economic, trade and financial embargo measures, including those with extraterritorial effects, against Cuba. The Vietnamese representative expressed concern over the increasingly severe difficulties facing the Cuban people, particularly restrictions on energy supplies that have disrupted the operations of hospitals, schools and water supply systems, as well as food production and transport, while hindering humanitarian assistance activities.
