In a message posted on the social network X, Rodriguez reiterated that Washington’s policy constitutes a flagrant, massive, and systematic violation of the human rights of the Cuban people and infringes upon the sovereignty of third-party states.

“This genocidal policy was recently condemned once again by the international community at the United Nations General Assembly,” the Foreign Minister wrote, while noting that “the G7 chooses to repeat false arguments fabricated by Washington to justify the criminal blockade.”

In the declaration released following their two-day meeting in Paris, the G7 foreign ministers called on the Cuban authorities to implement “significant, concrete political and economic reforms.”

Furthermore, they highlighted “the importance of strengthening mechanisms for delivering humanitarian aid throughout the country to contribute to the well-being of the Cuban people,” without mentioning the island’s right to import supplies—a right hindered by the U.S. blockade.
