Lebanon receives draft resolution against US blockade against Cuba

Beirut, Jun 10 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Ambassador in Lebanon Alexander Pellicer on Thursday delivered Ghady Khoury, director general of Political and Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a draft resolution against the US blockade Cuba will submit at UN.

Pellicer emphasized the importance of denouncing that economic, financial and social siege imposed by Washington, and intensified during the term by President Donald Trump (2017-2021).

The anti-blockade resolution will focus debates scheduled for the UN General Assembly on June 23 and it expects to once again receive the majority support from the international community.

The Cuban diplomat told Khoury about the tightening of the criminal US policy with the imposition of 243 measures decreed by Trump’s Government and remain intact, despite promises so that President Joe Biden lifts them.

At the time, the director general of the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated that Beirut will maintain support for Cuba in its just claim, because this is a position of principles that will never change.

Since 1992, Cuban authorities have been submitted that resolution against the blockade and in all cases, the vast majority of governments have rejected the inhumane US position.
