Havana, May 17 (ACN) Guinea Bissau’s parliament adopted a motion of support for Cuba demanding the lifting of the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of the island nation.

Cuban ambassador to Guinea Bissau Raúl de la Peña Silva appreciated the international support by the government, the parliament, political parties, personalities and social movements in the sister nation.
Silva said that Cuba affirms its willingness to keep up with the respectful dialog and cooperation about issues of bilateral Cuban-US interests and also negotiate pending issues with Washington on equal footing, reciprocity and respect for the island’s independence and sovereignty.
