Bolivia to Demand End of US Blockade of Cuba

HAVANA, Cuba, April 9 (acn) Bolivia will recommend the adoption of a resolution demanding the end of the almost 50-year-old US economic, financial and trade blockade of Cuba during the upcoming Summit of the Americas scheduled for later this month in Trinidad and Tobago.

According to Geanma news daily, Bolivian President Evo Morales told foreign reporters in La Paz that the text of the document recommended asks “the current US Government to immediately end its economic blockade of Cuba.”

The Bolivian leader explained that ending Washington’s blockade of the Caribbean archipelago would be the only way to “bring back respect for the nations’ sovereignty and recognition for international law and, particularly, international humanitarian law in the Americas.”

Morales added that, first, his country will take the recommendation to a Summit of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA) that will take place in Venezuela on April 16th to find regional consensus on the proposal.
