00:00And despite sanctions, Cuban tourism workers reject the U.S. blockade and work to strengthen tourism activities in the province
00:06of San Fuegos.
00:07Tourism has been one of the key areas affected in the Caribbean island following the recent measures intensifying the U
00:13.S. blockade,
00:13which also include restrictions on the provision of national and international tourism services.
00:18But just on latest actions seek to suffocate the island's economy and prevent investments,
00:23such as the current construction underway of the Hawa Hotel complex.
00:27Meanwhile, workers from San Fuegos reaffirmed their commitment to continue working on the hotel complex
00:32and have resorted to the installation of solar panels, among other measures, to provide the service.
00:41In this context, on Monday, Spokesperson for the Secretary General of the United Nations, Stephen Dejaric,
00:47expressed the authorities' concerns over the situation in Cuba and said UN teams are working on the ground,
00:53together with the Cuban government, to support the people.
00:57Yes, the Secretary General has been following the situation in Cuba extremely closely,
01:03and I can tell you that he's very concerned about the situation in Cuba,
01:09and which is worsening as oil needs continue to be unmet.
01:16You know, as you know, the General Assembly has consistently called for an end to the embargo imposed by the
01:24United States on Cuba.
01:26The Secretary General would like to see all parties pursue dialogue and respect for international law yet again.
01:34But our teams on the ground are working with the government to help support the humanitarian relief for the people
01:43of Cuba.
