BEIJING, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) — China calls on the United States to seriously heed the international community's call for justice and immediately lift the blockade and sanctions on Cuba, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a regular ministry briefing on Thursday.
The diplomat's statement came after the UN Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on human rights, Elena Dovgan, visited Cuba and stated in a preliminary report that US sanctions are having a serious negative impact on the economy and humanitarian situation in Cuba and violate numerous norms of international law.
As Guo Jiakun pointed out, this report is fully consistent with the recent UN General Assembly resolution, adopted by an overwhelming majority, calling on the United States to end the embargo on Cuba.
Stressing that the Chinese side has consistently opposed the US blockade and sanctions against Cuba, Guo Jiakun said that China urges the United States to seriously heed the international community's call for justice, immediately lift the restrictive measures imposed against Cuba, and remove Cuba from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism.
