In a statement, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) welcomed the vote obtained by the Republic of Cuba in the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) against the illegal and criminal blockade imposed by the United States.

Below is the full text of the statement:

The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) applauds and supports the Republic of Cuba following the vote obtained in the General Assembly of the United Nations against the illegal and criminal blockade imposed by the United States on this sister country.

Once again, the vast majority of the international community expressed the people's repudiation of the excessive, supremacist, inappropriate and imperialist position of the United States governments against Cuba for more than six decades, causing profound losses of more than five billion dollars a year, enormous suffering caused in health, education, access to energy and food, and, in general, to the well-being of the Cuban people and their economy.

Pressure from the United States government was unable to change the overwhelming support of the international community for an end to the blockade, nor to hide the irrefutable fact that the economic blockade is an unacceptable weapon of aggression.

The dignified and resilient Cuban people have been able to grow in difficulties, convinced that the truth awaits them and that bowing to Washington's cruelty is not an option.

The Bolivarian Alliance will continue to denounce this illegal and immoral act and demand that the United States government immediately end the illegal economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed on Cuba, as well as its exclusion from the arbitrary and unilateral list of countries that supposedly sponsor terrorism. It will also continue to demand respect for the right of all peoples of the world to live without sanctions and without threats.
