Santo Domingo, Oct 8 (Prensa Latina) Cuba denounced the impact of U.S. measures on its economy before the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), noting that these measures restrict access to technologies, industrial equipment, and financing. During ECLAC's 41st session, currently taking place in the Dominican Republic, Cuban Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment Deborah Rivas Saavedra stated that the island's efforts to tackle sustainable development challenges are compounded by the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States.
