We thank the UN Sec. General @ antonioguterres for receiving us. We transmit Venezuela’s request for the United Nations to enforce its Charter, taking concrete actions against Unilateral Coercive Measures, such as the blockades against Cuba and Venezuela.
Earlier, Minister Arreza participated in the UN General Assembly in which a resolution presented by Cuba was passed, in rejection of the US administration’s embargo against the island.
The resolution was passed with 187 votes in favor. Brazil, Israel and the United States voted against, while Colombia and Ukraine abstained.
