HAVANA, Cuba, Sep 27 (acn) El Salvador, Namibia, Trinidad-Tobago, Dominica and Guyana joined their voices to the international claim demanding the lifting of the over-50-year US economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba, at the United Nations General Assembly.
Guyanese president Donald Rabindranauth Ramotar said at the session that once again, his country joins the overwhelming majority of nations of the world calling for the end of the economic blockade imposed by the United States against the island.
El Salvador's head of state Salvador Sanchez Ceren said that the blockade is contrary to the current efforts to achieve development based on inclusion and equity, which is the main topic of the debate this year at the General Assembly.
Meanwhile, Dominica's Charles Angelo Savarin said that the US blockade is at the center of concern for the Caribbean, and Trinidad Tobago's Kamla Persad-Bissessar said the blockade undermines the collective aspirations for a post-2015 development agenda.
And Nambia's president Hifikepunye Pohamba demanded the lifting of US sanctions against Cuba and its blacklisting by the US State Department as a country sponsor of international terrorism. "It is not justifiable and cannot be accepted," he stressed.
Venezuela, Bolivia, South Africa, Antigua and Barbuda, Sri Lanka, Gabon, Ghana, Peru, Tanzania, Gambia and Chad expressed their rejection of the US blockade of Cuba during the first three days of debates at the UN General Assembly.
