Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Monday praised the supportive work of the Bridges of Love project regarding the donation given by that organization to the program of liver transplants in children in Cuba.

With regard to the Seminar on Title III of the Helms-Burton Law at the University of Havana, it is not idle to refer a clause of that legislation that leaves no room for doubt. Usually, the US government points out that the blockade is a bilateral issue with Cuba.

However, section 102 of the Helms Burton Act entitled "APPLICATION OF THE ECONOMIC EMBARGO TO CUBA" refers to:
Point (1) on Restrictions of other countries the following:
