60 years since the proclamation that formalized the criminal economic blockade by the United States against Cuba

Declaration by the revolutionary government

The revolutionary government condemns the continuance for over 60 years of the economic, commercial, and financial sanctions formally imposed by the United States on 3rd February 1962. On that date, the then president, John F. Kennedy, issued Proclamation 3447, “Embargo on All Trade with Cuba” under Section 620(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. He thereby conferred official status on the unilateral economic hostilities already in effect against Cuba since our country’s revolutionary victory.

Tribute to Martí for the 169th Anniversary of his Birth

Georgetown, Guyana.

His Excellency Mr. Santiago Andrés Cafiero, Minister of Foreign Relations, International Trade and Worship of the Argentine Republic;

Dear Foreign Ministers, Heads of Delegations, National Coordinators and guests, friends, all:

A summit as unreal as the "democracy" it defends

Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The virtual summit convened by the United States government on December 9-10, with prerecorded speeches from the guests and a totally manipulated agenda, was a demagogic exercise, with zero benefits for the international community and without any proposal to solve the most pressing problems of the world we share.
