United Nations: The African Group reaffirmed on Wednesday before the United Nations General Assembly its rejection of the economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States for more than half a century, Prensa Latina reports.
The African Group remains firm in its principled position of solidarity with Cuba in its call to put an immediate end to this unilateral measure, Moncef Baati, Tunisia's permanent representative to the UN declared.
Baati, representing the African Group, expressed deep concern about the negative consequences of the coercive economic measures imposed on the Cuban population for decades.
The Tunisian representative pointed out that the US blockade against Cuba denies the UN's collective aspiration to defend the ideas and principles of multilateralism, as envisioned in the United Nations Charter.
