Havana, July 23 (RHC) The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) declared its support for Cuba in the face of the political-communication campaign orchestrated by the U.S. government, according to a note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

According to the text, the NAM Coordinating Bureau -at a meeting held in New York- condemned and rejected the attempts to destabilize the Caribbean nation and interfere in its internal affairs.

It described as a flagrant violation of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and International Law, the actions that continuously incite disorder in the Caribbean island.

The NAM denounced the multiple and negative impacts of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the government of the United States against Cuba for six decades and intensified in times of pandemic, and called for its immediate lifting, the note added.

It highlighted that Cuba is the first country in Latin America and the Caribbean to have a vaccine approved for its use in the fight against COVID-19, reached in the midst of terrible and suffocating economic sanctions from the White House.

The NAM is a mechanism for political coordination, made up of 120 members of which Cuba is a founder.
