Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, thanked African heads of state and government today via his Twitter account for the resolution condemning the US economic, commercial, and financial blockade against the island.
The Cuban foreign minister described the decision of the 39th African Union Summit, concluded in Addis Ababa, as a show of solidarity. For the seventeenth consecutive time, the summit rejected the economic, financial, and commercial policies imposed by Washington.
The resolution also demanded, for the third time, Cuba’s removal from the illegal list compiled by the U.S. State Department of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
Bruno Rodríguez emphasized that African support takes on special significance following the executive order signed on January 29 by U.S. President Donald Trump, aimed at completely blocking fuel supplies to Cuba and crippling its people.
Cuba has repeatedly stated that it will continue to defend its sovereignty and the rights of its people, while reaffirming its commitment to strengthening the historic ties of friendship and cooperation with Africa.
