Havana, November 2 (RHC) -- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel celebrated Thursday the new victory of his country in the fight against the U.S. blockade, by achieving the backing at the United Nations of a resolution approved by 187 votes in favor.
In his profile on X, the head of state considered the results as "a new victory of the Cuban people and its Revolution; the recognition and support of the international community to Cuba's heroism and resistance, as well as the triumph of the dignity and courage of our people."
In that social network, the president also stressed that the world once again said NO to the genocidal blockade.
Díaz-Canel described as ridiculous the speech of the U.S. representative in the vote at the United Nations, and pointed out that his words, full of lies, slander and hypocrisy, should make him ashamed of the overwhelming majority condemnation against his "genocidal, unjust and criminal" policy.
On the other hand, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez expressed that the results constitute a great victory for the Cuban people in their unceasing struggle and just claim to live.
He also pointed out that they confirm the complete isolation of the White House for its illegal, abusive and morally unsustainable policy.
On this day, the island submitted for consideration of the UN General Assembly the resolution on the need to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States.
The Cuban bill received overwhelming support with 187 member states voting in favor of ending the blockade imposed on the island, only two against (the United States and Israel) and one abstention (Ukraine).
The resolution recognizes the siege as the central element of U.S. policy towards Cuba for more than six decades.
Its effects have not ceased for a single day, and are known by 80 percent of the island's population who only know one country with a blockade (Source: Prensa Latina). (Source: Prensa Latina)
