HAVANA, Cuba, Dec 10 (ACN) Miguel Diaz-Canel, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and president of the country, condemned today the application of the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the US against Cuba.

On the same social network, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, Cuban foreign minister, reaffirmed the commitment of the State and government to the promotion, protection and respect for human rights as enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic.

He added that the Caribbean nation is party to 44 international legal instruments on human rights.
