Recently, the government of the United States announced the removal of Cuba from the list of countries that do not fully cooperate with the United States anti-terrorist efforts.

Nonetheless, the State Department keeps Cuba in the unilateral list of States that allegedly sponsor terrorism. That unjust and unfounded accusation serves as a pretext for imposing additional unilateral coercive measures against Cuba, and has strengthened to unprecedent levels the economic, commercial and financial blockade against the Cuban people. The Joint Coordinating Committee of the NAM and G77 and China urges the immediate removal of Cuba from that unilateral list.

The Joint Coordinating Committee reiterates its call to the Government of the United States to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed on that sisterly nation for more than six decades that constitutes the major impediment for its full development. The Joint Coordinating Committee also reiterates its firm rejection to the imposition of laws and regulations with extraterritorial impact and all other forms of coercive measures, including unilateral sanctions, against developing countries and reiterates the urgent need to eliminate them immediately.

The Joint Coordinating Committee of the Non-Aligned Movement and the G77 and China urges strict compliance with the 31 resolutions adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on the "Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba".
