UNITED NATIONS, July 7. /TASS/. Cuba has managed to maintain domestic stability despite the continuing energy blockade by the US authorities, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla told a UN General Assembly session held on Tuesday on the need to end economic and financial blockade of the island nation.
"Stability reigns in Cuba, there is no full-scale humanitarian crisis. We have never stopped protecting our people and we will keep doing so," the minister said.
In his words, Cuba is inspired by the international support and other countries’ efforts to alleviate the situation.
"This gives hope to our sovereign nation," he added.
The situation in Cuba deteriorated sharply at the end of January after the US started to block fuel supplies to the island. Since February, Washington has already adopted several packages of sanctions against the Caribbean republic, pushing the island into a crisis.
