The Cuban Minister highlighted in his Twitter account the “necessity of putting an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba.”
He said that this was scheduled in the provisional agenda for the 77th session of the international organization without taking it to a vote answering the Cuban proposal.
The matter has been established in the official agenda of the General Assembly, to begin next September, and to be held until the same month of 2023. The item is intended to treat the unilateral U.S. siege against the Cubans.
