Address by the minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodriguez to present draft resolution Necessity of Ending the Economic, Commercial and Financial Blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba. New York, June 23. 2021
Your Excellency Mr. Chairman;
Your Excellencies Permanent Representatives;
Delegates;
In 2020, Cuba, like the rest of the world, was faced with the singular challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The US Administration took on the virus as an ally in its merciless non-conventional war; it deliberately and opportunistically stepped up the economic, commercial and financial blockade, bringing about losses for the country in the amount of around 5 billion dollars.
