US Blockade Against Cuba
Caracas - The 27 country members of the
Latin American, Caribbean Economic System (SELA)
declared themselves in favor of the end of
the US economic, financial blockade imposed
on Cuba for over 50 years.
This was the view of countries grouped in
the regional entity during the meeting to
review economic relations between the United
States and Latin America and the Caribbean
in the context of the crisis, SELA Permanent
Secretary Jose Rivera told Prensa Latina on
Tuesday.
The best sign the US administration of
Barack Obama might send to the continent
would be "a firm decision to put an end to
the blockade, which is a widespread demand,
as it could be witnessed today in
discussions of members of SELA and the
international community."
He stressed that the start of a new
relationship between the United States and
the subcontinent "would call for a firm
decision in this regard." |
