Mogherini Says US Economic Blockade of Cuba 'Obsolete, Illegal'

US Economic Blockade of Cuba 'Obsolete, Illegal'
The economic "blockade" of Cuba is not a solution to the existing problems in relations between Havana and Washington, since it only diminshes the living standards of Cuban nationals, EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini has said.


"The blockade is not the solution. The Europeans have told our American friends many times; we have affirmed it in the United Nations… We know well that the sole effect of the blockade is to worsen the quality of life of women, men and children… The blockade is obsolete, it is illegal," EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini said Wednesday in Havana as quoted by Telesur broadcaster.

Mogherini is paying a visit to Cuba to hold meetings with the country's leadership and discuss the prospects of bilateral relations between the Caribbean nation and the European Union. The joint implementation of the bilateral Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement (PDCA), signed in 2016, is also on the agenda.

  1. El bloqueo económico y comercial de Estados Unidos contra Cuba es "obsoleto e ilegal", por lo que la Unión Europea trabajará para "ponerle fin", ha advertido la alta representante para la Política Exterior y de Seguridad de la UE, Federica Mogherini, quien se encuentra de visita oficial en el país latinoamericano.

    "El bloqueo no es la solución. Se lo hemos dicho así muchas veces a nuestros amigos estadounidenses y lo hemos afirmado repetidamente en las Naciones Unidas. El único efecto del bloqueo es empeorar la calidad de vida de las mujeres, los hombres y los niños cubanos", declaró Mogherini, citada por el portal Cubadebate, durante una conferencia celebrada este miércoles en La Habana.
