Havana, November 17 (RHC)-- The 26th Ibero-American Summit issued a special communiqué, urging Washington to lift its nearly six-decades-old economic, commercial and financial blockade on Cuba.
The proposal, introduced by the Cuban delegation, garnered the support of most Ibero-American foreign ministers at their meeting, prior to the Summit's high-level segment on Friday. The text points to the extraterritorial nature of the blockade policy, particularly the so-called Helms-Burton Law, which punishes third nations and parties that do business or promote foreign investment in the Caribbean state.
On November 1st, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly passed a resolution, for the 27th consecutive year, that calls for an end to this unilateral, coercive policy that punishes an entire people for not renouncing their inalienable rights to their self-determination and defending their nation's sovereignty and independence against foreign interference of any kind.
