Group 77 and China condemns Cuba's inclusion as a country sponsoring terrorism



 HAVANA, Cuba, Oct 29 (ACN) The inclusion of Cuba on the List of State Sponsors of Terrorism is damaging to Cuba's reputation and a reason for the tightening of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. government.

The representative of Iraq on behalf of the Group of 77 and China demanded today during the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly the immediate withdrawal of the archipelago from this list that causes so many negative effects to the Caribbean people.

Cuba is an active member of the Group, promotes South-South cooperation, scientific and technological development of nations, as well as international solidarity and friendship, so it is not recognized as a member of the countries that promote this genocidal practice, he said.

During his speech, he referred to the Group's concern about the extraterritoriality of the blockade, since the application of Title III of the Helms-Burton Act intimidates transactions between a third country and Cuba with severe sanctions.

He described the activation of Title III as an evident transgression to the freedom of trade between nations.

He also regretted the blockade, as well as its tightening during the previous U.S. administration and its continued validity.

He emphasized the consequences of these measures for all sectors of the archipelago such as health, trade, agriculture and banking, resulting in hardship and economic difficulties for the people and the success towards the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda Goals.
