The Cuban Ambassador to India, Alejandro Simancas Marín, gave a press conference at the Press Club of India on the United Nations General Assembly Report "Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against Cuba"; its presentation for the thirtieth time in this framework; and the historic support of the international community, demanding the lifting of this criminal policy.
The Cuban diplomat explained the damage caused to Cuba by this unilateral policy to the various sectors of the country, its unprecedented intensification in the context of COVID-19, as well as its extraterritorial impact. He also condemned the unilateral and totally arbitrary designation of Cuba as a State that allegedly sponsors terrorism by the U.S. government, which clearly has a political character.
The Ambassador also had an exchange of views with the journalists present, from various print and television media of the country, who gave extensive coverage to the meeting.
