During his speech at the closing ceremony of the 3rd Regional Meeting in Solidarity held in the Russian capital, Tamayo noted that the social programs undertaken by the Cuban government ratify the island's people's decision to preserve its achievements. Tamayo, who has received the honorary title of Hero of the Cuban Republic, also pointed out that the Bush administration has reinforced the commercial, financial and economic blockade imposed by Washington on the island over the last four decades, reports PL news agency. The Cuban official expressed his confidence in the support of the international community for his country at the coming United Nations General Assembly, where Cuba will present once again a draft resolution to end the US blockade on the island. Arnaldo Tamayo, who flew into the space for the first time with his Soviet colleague Yuri Romanenko in 1980, said the meeting held in Moscow has shown once more the tight bonds of friendship existing between Cuba and Russia. * ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us Our main website: http://www.blythe.org List Archives: http://blythe-systems.com/pipermail/nytr/ Subscribe: http://blythe-systems.com/mailman/listinfo/nytr =================================================================
