Dear friends:
It is an honor to attend this new edition of the International Conference on normalization between Cuba and the United States. I thank the organizers of the event for the kind invitation they extended to us to be present at this important event.
On behalf of the Permanent Mission of Cuba to the United Nations, I wish to convey to you our warmest greetings and esteem for making these days of fraternity and friendship towards Cuba possible.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel highlighted his country's example and resistance in the face of the adversities imposed by the U.S. economic, commercial and financial blockade against the island.
Havana, February 5 (RHC)-- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel highlighted his country's example and resistance in the face of the adversities imposed by the U.S. economic, commercial and financial blockade against the island.
The revolutionary government condemns the continuance for over 60 years of the economic, commercial and financial sanctions formally imposed by the United States on 3rd February 1962. On that date, the then president, John F. Kennedy, issued Proclamation 3447, “Embargo on All Trade with Cuba” under Section 620(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. He thereby conferred official status on the unilateral economic hostilities already in effect against Cuba since our country’s revolutionary victory.
Washington, December 23
