The Cuban Consul in Sweden met on the afternoon of Saturday, October 27, with the Cubans residing in the city of Gothenburg.
Yesterday afternoon, the United States permanent mission at the UN began circulating eight amendments to the Cuban resolution calling for an end to the blockade, reported Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parilla during a press conference at the ministry in Havana.
He reported that the amendments basically address aspects related to the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and the human rights issue, a subject that the U.S. government attempts to use to discredit Cuba – unsuccessfully.
What is most interesting, Rodríguez said, is not the content of the proposed amendments, but rather the fact that the document was circulated surreptitiously by the U.S. State Department, signed by deputy assistant secretary Gonzalo Gallegos, in an effort to dissuade UN member countries from voting in favor of the Cuban resolution calling for an end to the blockade, which will be considered in the General Assembly this coming October 31.
The Ambassador of Cuba, Pedro Luis Despaigne Gonzalez, was received by the President of the Republic of Ghana, Mr. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his office, where they held cordial talks.
During the meeting, which addressed a group of issues that will strengthen their bilateral ties, the Cuban Ambassador handed over a frame to the Ghanaian President, which includes photographs of his meeting with the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Commander in Chief Fidel Castro, in April 2006, when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs.
