Nueva York, ONU. El Canciller de Trinidad y Tobago, Dennis Moses, intervino en el segmento de alto nivel de 71 sesiones de la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas, en la cual se pronunció por el pronto y definitivo levantamiento del Bloqueo contra Cuba, al cual consideró un obstáculo para el desarrollo sostenible de Cuba.
Las palabras del Canciller trinitario vienen a ratificar la histórica posición de respaldo del país caribeño oriental contra el Bloqueo.
..."The international community is pleased that the normalization of relations between the United States and Cuba has successfully progressed. The memory of the first historical visit of a sitting US President to Havana since the 1959 Cuban revolution will stir in the minds of the people of Cuba and the world for generations. Trinidad and Tobago remains optimistic that the growing relationship between both countries will continue in good faith, and that the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed against Cuba, which significantly challenges the achievement of sustainable development in that country, will be lifted soon..."
