Vietnam on June 23 voted in favour of a United Nations (UN) resolution calling for an end to the decades-long economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the US against Cuba, and urged the US to reverse the current Cuba policies for the interest of both peoples and for peace, stability and development in the region and the world over.
Vietnam welcomes the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption of a resolution calling for an end to the US embargo against Cuba, spokesperson for the Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang said.
The US embargo against Cuba is a backward step which intensifies tension between the two countries, said the head of Vietnam’s mission at the United Nations.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang has answered reporters’ question regarding the US’s recent adjustment of its policy towards Cuba, noting that the US needs to lift its embargo against Cuba.
A resolution calling for the end of the US embargo on Cuba was passed by 191 votes to zero at a plenary meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on October 26.
