Statement by Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, at the presentation of draft Resolution a/79/l.6 entitled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of Ame
No other country in the world, not even those whose economies are far more robust than the Cuban economy, could cope with such a brutal, asymmetric and long-standing aggression without a considerable cost for the living standards of its population.
With the economic blockade against Cuba, imperialism is warning the whole world that any nation daring to firmly defend its sovereignty and build its own future will pay a price for its rebelliousness.
