Cairo, October 22, 2025. The financial, economic, and commercial blockade imposed by the United States for more than 60 years is the main obstacle to Cuba's development, denounced Alexander Pellicer Moraga, the island's ambassador to Egypt, today.
This punitive measure is the basis of the policy of maximum pressure adopted by Washington against the Caribbean country to affect its economy and generate internal discontent, Pellicer said during a press conference in this capital attended by more than a dozen representatives of the Egyptian media.
Mr. President,
Madam Secretary-General,
Ministers, delegates, and guests,
