The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodriguez Parilla have discussed the unacceptability of unilateral sanctions measures, during a meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

"The consistent approach of both countries to the categorical unacceptability of the use of unilateral sanctions has been confirmed," the Russian Ministry indicated on its website.

Rodriguez Parilla reiterated Cuba's solidarity with Russia in preserving peace and security in the world, while Lavrov expressed support for Havana in its demand for "a complete and immediate lifting of the US embargo."

The two foreign ministers also signed a plan for consultations between foreign ministries for the next five years.

It is noteworthy that during his speech at the UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, Rodriguez Parilla decried the 60 years of US economic embargo against Cuba which he described as "vast, cruel and immoral."

The Cuban Foreign Minister explained that "the government of the US is reinforcing pressure on banking institutions, companies, and governments throughout the world that are interested in establishing relations with Cuba, and the US continues to obsessively pursue all sources of foreign exchange coming into the country to bring about the economic collapse of the nation."

Rodriguez Parilla recalled that the UNGA had voted 29 times, with an overwhelming majority, to end the "ruthless and unilateral" embargo on Cuba, noting that the US ignored the assembly's decision 29 times.

"Thirty years have now elapsed since the first general assembly voted against this blockade, and at this time, the US continues to ignore the almost unanimous demand from you to cease its illegal and brutal policy against Cuba," he indicated, urging the US to remove the Caribbean island from the list of "state sponsors of terrorism."

Other Latin American presidents, including Argentina's Alberto Fernandez, Honduras' Xiomara Castro, and Bolivia's Luis Arce have also called for an end to the US blockade.
