Syria calls for immediate lifting of coercive measures imposed on Syria , Cuba and other countries

New York,SANA -Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Qusay Al-Dahhak, stressed that Syria renews its demand for the immediate, complete and unconditional lifting of the coercive measures imposed by the United States and the European Union outside the framework of the United Nations and international legitimacy on Syria, Cuba and a number of United States countries and international legitimacy.

Ambassador al-Dahhak said in a statement Tuesday before the General Assembly on the necessity of ending the economic and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba’’ We reiterate the Syrian Arab Republic’s firm and continuous support for friendly Cuba, its leadership and people, and for its steadfastness in confronting the unjust and illegal US blockade imposed on it since 1962. We also appreciate Cuba ’s stance in support of my country regarding the terrorist war, illegal military presence, repeated Israeli attacks and inhumane coercive measures to which it is exposed.

Al-Dahhak stressed Syria’s full commitment and strong support for the UN resolutions calling for an immediate end to the unjust blockade imposed on Cuba, as it constitutes a flagrant violation of the principles of international law, stressing that Syria will continue to vote in favor of the draft resolution presented to the General Assembly based on its belief in the justice of the Cuban stance and the injustice and unacceptable collective punishment to which the friendly Cuban people are subjected.
