Cuba's COVID-19 vaccination strategy has been a resounding success
When, at the end of July 2021, the anti-COVID-19 mass immunization began in Cuba, with nationally produced vaccines created by our scientists, the daily positive cases of SARS-COV-2 amounted to 9,000, with thousands of accumulated deaths and more than 40,000 active patients with the virus, in the midst of a complex epidemiological situation that hit Cuban families.
Statement by Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba at the presentation of draft Resolution A/77/l.5 entitled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”. New York, November 3, 2022.
I would like to express our heartfelt solidarity with the sister Caribbean nation of Belize, which is suffering today the ravages left by a powerful hurricane.
Mr. President;
Cuban-American professor and activist Carlos Lazo, leader of the Bridges of Love project, delivered a donation to the Pepe Portilla pediatric hospital in the western province of Pinar del Río, national television reported today.
Here we are those who love and found, said Lazo in his second visit this year to the hospital, accompanied on this occasion by Israel Rojas, director of the Buena Fe duo, and Spanish journalist Ana Hurtado.
Cuba scored a new victory on Thursday in its struggle against the United States blockade by achieving overwhelming support at the United Nations (UN) for a resolution passed by 185 votes in favor.
The resolution was only opposed by the United States and its staunched ally Israel, while Brazil and Ukraine abstained.
One of the principles accepted in International Law since the London Naval Conference of 1909 defines that "the blockade is an act of war". However, since February 3, 1962, when President John F. Kennedy stamped his signature, decreeing this illegal policy against Cuba, the continuous tenants of the White House, both Republicans and Democrats, ratified it under the hackneyed and false pretext that it is a "bilateral matter".
Eighteen former Latin American and Caribbean leaders signed a letter published today calling on U.S. President Joe Biden to end the blockade imposed on Cuba more than six decades ago.
The signatories, who made the appeal after the devastation inflicted by Hurricane Ian in September in the Caribbean nation, also request that the U.S. President remove Cuba from his (unilateral) list of State Sponsors of Terrorism.
