Beirut, October 7 (RHC)-- Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassi said that his country will vote in favor of the resolution Cuba will present to the UN demanding the lifting of the economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed by the United States.

During a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with Cuba's ambassador in Beirut, Rene Ceballo, the top diplomat of the Arab country ratified his country's position against the U.S. policy of hostility and economic strangulation imposed on the Caribbean country.

The UN General Assembly will debate, later this month, a draft resolution presented by Havana demanding an end to the U.S. blockade against Cuba, a claim which was formalized at the forum 23 years ago, for the first time.
