His remarks were met with applause from several delegations, particularly those aligned with the movement to lift the embargo and integrate Cuba into the international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. embargo against Cuba, first imposed in 1960 following the Cuban Revolution, has remained a point of contention in international relations for over six decades. Despite various efforts to ease restrictions, including steps taken during the Obama administration, the embargo remains in place, with Cuba still listed as a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. State Department.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2399112577\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chtamarketplace.com\/\" aria-label=\"Social FaceBook Cover Desk_Mobile\"><img
