The Marti's Association of Cuban Residents in Panama (AMCRP) has asked the Panamanian government to support a UN resolution condemning the US blockade against Cuba. This request aligns with ongoing efforts to reject the economic sanctions imposed on the island. The call was made public in Panama City on October 26.
In a statement issued in Panama City on October 26, the Marti's Association of Cuban Residents in Panama (AMCRP) urged the Panamanian government to back a resolution at the United Nations General Assembly condemning the economic blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba. This measure, according to the organization, aims to highlight the negative impact of the sanctions on the Caribbean nation's development.
The AMCRP, which represents the Cuban community in Panama, stressed the importance of international solidarity against what they describe as an aggressive policy by Washington. While no specific details were provided on the UN voting date, the request comes amid annual resolutions where the majority of member states reject the embargo.
Prensa Latina reported the event, noting the role of emigrant associations in promoting the Cuban cause. No official responses from the Panamanian government were mentioned at the time of publication.
