Cuba Plans to Beat US Blockade

Havana, Oct 18 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez
Roque stated in this capital that the vast majority of the UN country
members will support Cuba in its struggle against the almost 50-year US
blockade.

"We hope October 30 will be a day for an overwhelming vote at the
General Assembly to favor the cause of the Cuban people," the Cuban
minister said Wednesday in front of a numerous group of youth who
attended the launching of the multimedia project Cubavsbloqueo.

Perez Roque termed the economic, trade and financial siege against the
island "the most irrational policy imposed on any nation in the world."

However, he noted, Cuba has resisted each US governments' aggression
with the conviction that justice will be reached one day.

The diplomat explained that despite obstacles, 70 percent of medicines
the country consumes have been produced on the island, as well as eight
of the 13 vaccines freely provided to Cuban children.

The multimedia, which invites to reproduce and distribute all its
content, includes nine chapters, among them, Cuba's reports since 1992,
results of the UN voting, and international support to the Caribbean
country.
