"We reiterate our concern about the persistence of undue restrictions on exports to developing countries of materials, equipment and nuclear technologies for peaceful purposes," said Rodolfo Benitez, Cuban diplomatic representative.

Our country has been and continues to be a victim of these restrictions and prohibitions as part of the cruel and illegal blockade applied for over 50 years by the U.S. against Cuba, he said in his speech.

The ambassador in his capacity as governor of Cuba to the Board urged the immediate removal of these obstacles.
