“The General Assembly has once again adopted the resolution by an overwhelming majority, showing the broad international support for the Cuban people in their just efforts to safeguard national sovereignty and oppose foreign interference and the blockade,” stressed spokesperson Guo Jiakun.

According to the spokesperson, this is further proof that unilateral and intimidating measures find no support.

“For the past 60 years and more, the brutal blockade and illegal sanctions imposed by the United States against Cuba have seriously violated the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and other basic norms governing international relations, infringed upon Cuba’s right to subsistence and development, and wreaked havoc on the Cuban people,” he emphasized.

Guo reiterated Beijing’s support for the island and highlighted the outcome of the United Nations vote in favor of the resolution on Cuba calling for an end to the US blockade, which has been passed 33 consecutive times since 1992.

China will continue to demand international justice and maintain its firm commitment to supporting the Cuban people in their struggle against foreign interference and the blockade, following a development path that is suited to Cuba’s national conditions and safeguarding its sovereignty and dignity,” he said.
