Harare, 18 January 2025- The Zimbabwe Anti-Sanctions Trust today reiterated its solidarity with the people of Cuba in facing the challenges of the prolonged economic blockade imposed by the United States.

Statement by Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, at the presentation of draft Resolution a/79/l.6 entitled “Necessity of ending  the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of Ame

No other country in the world, not even those whose economies are far more robust than the Cuban economy, could cope with such a brutal, asymmetric and long-standing aggression without a considerable cost for the living standards of its population.

With the economic blockade against Cuba, imperialism is warning the whole world that any nation daring to firmly defend its sovereignty and build its own future will pay a price for its rebelliousness.

Cuban Ambassador in Basseterre is received at the Foreign Ministry in a work meeting.

The Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba in the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, David Rivero Pérez, held a working meeting with the Senior Foreign Service Officer Mr. Michael Penny, Director of Legal and Security Affairs of the Foreign Ministry in Basseterre, who is temporarily replacing the Permanent Secretary of this Ministry. During the cordial meeting, issues of common interest were addressed, while the Ambassador offered an update on the effects of the economic, commercial and financial blockade that the United States has imposed on Cuba for the last 62 years. It is a deliberate act of economic warfare, which has been reinforced by the arbitrary inclusion of the Antillean nation on the State Department's unilateral list of alleged countries sponsoring terrorism.

Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis calls for the end of the US embargo against Cuba in the VIII Summit of Heads of State and Government of CELAC.

“Excellencies, I also take this opportunity to call for an end to the economic, commercial, and financial embargo on Cuba. What is the purpose? What does it achieve? Cuba continues to be a dear friend and a committed partner. Just recently our country needed a few medical specialists, and Cuba quickly responded. The countless lives that Cuban healthcare professionals have saved cannot be counted. Despite the limitations imposed on Cuba, it has accomplished great things. Let us imagine what Cuba could accomplish if given the space to do so. It is past time to lift this unjust embargo”.
