Celac: Argentine President condemned U.S. blockade of Cuba

Argentine President Alberto Fernández today condemned the economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba by the United States, while speaking at the 7th Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac).

As pro tempore head of Celac, I demanded respect for the rights of all nations and the end of the blockades that the countries of the region suffer, said the president.

Blockades are perverse methods against peoples. Cuba has been suffering one for more than six decades and this is unforgivable, he said.
