Blockade

On the morning of October 28, in Hanoi, the Cuban Embassy in Vietnam held a press conference to provide information about the country's submission of a draft resolution to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), calling for an end to the economic, trade, and financial blockade imposed on Cuba.

Speaking at the press conference, Cuban Ambassador to Vietnam Rogelio Polanco Fuentes stated that the discussion and voting on the resolution will take place on October 28-29 at the UN headquarters in New York. This marks the 34th time since 1992 that Cuba has submitted this resolution to the UNGA, and over the years, the draft has garnered widespread support from the international community. In 2024, a similar resolution was passed with 187 votes in favour and 2 against.

Dear friends, 

We thank you very much for your support to our country in the battle against the criminal blockade by the United States and the fraudulent inclusion on the list of countries that support terrorism.

On the second and final day of work in Ottawa, the delegation headed by the First Vice President of Cuba's National Institute of Sports, Physical Education, and Recreation (INDER), Raúl Fornés Valenciano, held a fruitful and relaxed exchange at the headquarters of the Cuban Embassy in Canada, with the staunch friend Bill Ryan. The meeting was conducive to exploring ways to strengthen cooperation with Cuba and to once again convey admiration and gratitude to Bill for so many years of faithful friendship with the Cuban people.

The community of Cayon in St Kitts received this Sunday at its Anglican church St Mary's, a representation of the Cuban Alumni Association, which began its calendar of activities for 2025, with a religious service, as is tradition.

From this different scenery, with a load of affection, respect and admiration, we Cubans receive the warmest of hugs this Sunday.
