Revolutionary Government Statement
The Revolutionary Government denounces the more than 60 years of the economic, commercial and financial blockade formally imposed by the U.S. on February 3, 1962. On this date, then President John F.

The president of the Paris Club, Emmanuel Moulin, met here on Wednesday with Cuban Ambassador to France Otto Vaillant, and both parties agreed on the will to develop ties.
