Outlets such as the Diplomatic News Agency (DNANEWS) and Pakistan in the World covered Cordero’s recent press briefing in Islamabad, where he detailed the effects of Washington’s reprehensible policy, now tightened by an energy siege, which has caused severe damage to the Caribbean nation’s economy, healthcare system, and energy sector.

The ambassador explained that economic restrictions and financial sanctions have limited Cuba to importing essential goods, including medicines, fuel, and medical equipment.

The Cuban diplomat noted that persistent power shortages, caused by a lack of fuel, have affected hospitals and healthcare centers across the island, DNANEWS noted.

The news sources highlighted that the press briefing took place ahead of the annual vote at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on a resolution demanding the lifting of the US blockade against Cuba.
