On the other hand, they condemned the over 60-year-old US blockade on their motherland, arguing that such sanctions deprive Cuba of access to the world market and to unrestricted international trade as well as to foreign financing, in an open violation of international law by Washington.

“It is public knowledge that there is a law enacted and implemented by the United States government, which prohibits and restricts the commercial and financial trade of all nations of the world with Cuba, causing systematic calamities and suffering to our nation,” they noted.

This blockade, they added, generates direct and indirect unrest and discontent among the population.
