Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on Monday thanked the world for its support for the country in the fight against the U.S. blockade.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez made the remarks in the International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba held in Havana, with the participation of Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and around 1,000 activists from some 60 countries and regions.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez thanked the participating delegates of 219 unions, political groups or civic organizations for their solidarity.<\/p>\n
Through your struggle, you encourage the creative, persistent and victorious resistance of the Cuban people in the midst of enormous difficulties, said the minister.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez also denounced the intensification to extreme levels of the U.S.-led trade embargo against Cuba, which the Cuban government estimates has cost the Caribbean island over 150 billion U.S. dollars over the years.<\/p>\n
The International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba began on Saturday and ended on Monday, following a two-year suspension due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n
Organized by the Workers Central Union of Cuba and the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, the forum was first held in 1994.<\/p>\n
