HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 9 (ACN) Agencies of the Central State Administration began the drafting process of the Report on the effects of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba, between March 2023 and February 2024.
The tightened genocidal blockade continues to be the main hurdle for the development and welfare of the Cuban people, informed Cuban Foreign Affairs Ministry (Minrex by its Spanish acronym).
Minrex added that the meeting, held at the Foreign Ministry headquarters, was attended by Anayansi Rodriguez Camejo, deputy foreign minister.
Rodriguez Camejo described this process as hard and meticulous, in which are gathered the effects of such unilateral policy in each sector of the Cuban economy and society.
On the basis of the Trading with the Enemy Act and the Foreign Assistance Act, on February 7, 1962, during the administration of John F. Kennedy, an executive order entered into force imposing the economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba, in which, in addition to economic asphyxiation, it promoted political isolation at the regional and international level.
