Cuba and Zimbabwe Share The Battle Against Illicit Sanctions Imposed By The West; Cuban Ambassador H.E Mrs. Susellys Pérez Mesa

In commemoration of the Sadc Anti Sanctions Day, Cuban Ambassador said Zimbabwe and Cuba share the battle against unilateral coercive measures and also demonstrate solidarity on the issue of illegal sanctions which greatly affect the right to development of both countries.

This was recently reaffirmed by Foreign Ministers during the High-Level Segment of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

“In this regard, I would like to mention that the United Nations General Assembly Resolution condemning the blockade will be presented for the 33rd occasion and voted again this year on October 29 highlighting the necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the government of the United States against Cuba.

“We are confident that we can continue counting on the unwavering support of almost the entire international community to demand an end to these practices, which constitute the main obstacle to Cuba’s development and whose extraterritorial effect violates the national sovereignty of third States,” said Ambassador Mesa.

“This policy, applied for more than 60 years against the Cuban people, contravenes international law. Furthermore, it far exceeds the category of a unilateral coercive measure and constitutes a policy of comprehensive economic aggression whose stated objective has historically been to cause scarcity, suffering, and hopelessness among the Cuban population, with the aim of breaking their political will and subjugating the nation but we shall overcome.”

Several messages on the occasion of the SADC Anti-Sanctions Day were conveyed by the Cuban representatives.
