India voted in favour of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for an end to the United States' longstanding economic, commercial and financial embargo on Cuba. The resolution, adopted on October 28, received 130 votes in favour, 17 against and 25 abstentions. Representing India, UN Counsellor Soumya Nair said the restrictions were harming Cuba's economy, essential services and development prospects. She highlighted shortages of over 60% of essential medicines and a decline of more than 50% in food production over five years. India urged countries to respect sovereignty and resolve international issues through diplomacy.
