Ahead of a crucial vote at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) condemning the U.S.-imposed economic and financial blockade of Cuba, the Cuban envoy in New Delhi said the blockade imposed by the Trump administration is “the most painful” for Cuba and that his country would like to explore possibilities of greater financial integration with the BRICS economies.
“The U.S. blockade aims to isolate Cuba and discourage investors and businessmen from travelling to the country. Earlier, we had around one million tourists every year, but now barely three hundred thousand visit. On October 28-29, we will submit this resolution to the UN General Assembly,” said Ambassador Juan Carlos Marsán Aguilera at a press conference at the Press Club of India.
