Cuba Plans to Beat US
Blockade
Cuban Foreign Minister
Felipe Perez Roque
stated in this capital
that the vast majority
of the UN country
members will support
Cuba in its struggle
against the almost
50-year US blockade.
"We hope October 30 will
be a day for an
overwhelming vote at the
General Assembly to
favor the cause of the
Cuban people," the Cuban
minister said Wednesday
in front of a numerous
group of youth who
attended the launching
of the multimedia
project Cubavsbloqueo.
Perez Roque termed the
economic, trade and
financial siege against
the island "the most
irrational policy
imposed on any nation in
the world."
However, he noted, Cuba
has resisted each US
governments' aggression
with the conviction that
justice will be reached
one day.
The diplomat explained
that despite obstacles,
70 percent of medicines
the country consumes
have been produced on
the island, as well as
eight of the 13 vaccines
freely provided to Cuban
children.
The multimedia, which
invites to reproduce and
distribute all its
content, includes nine
chapters, among them,
Cuba's reports since
1992, results of the UN
voting, and
international support to
the Caribbean country. |
