The head of State described the results as “a new victory for the Cuban people and their Revolution; the recognition and support from the international community for Cuba’s heroism and resistance, as well as the triumph of our people’s dignity and courage.”

On his X account, the president noted that the world once again said no to the genocidal blockade.

Díaz-Canel described the US representative’s speech at the UN vote as ridiculous, and pointed out that his words, full of lies, slander and hypocrisy, should make him ashamed in the face of the overwhelming condemnation of the “genocidal, unjust and criminal” policy.

Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, in turn, stressed that the results are a great victory for the Cuban people in their tireless struggle and just claim to live.

They also confirm the complete isolation of the United States due to its illegal, abusive and morally unsustainable policy, Rodríguez added.

On Thursday, Cuba’s resolution, entitled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba,” received overwhelming support at the UN General Assembly, where it was approved by 187 votes in favor, two votes against (the United States and Israel) and one abstention (Ukraine).
