CUBAN President Raul Castro has reiterated his people’s demand for an end to the illegal 55-year US blockade.
The revolutionary leader spoke on Monday alongside US President Barack Obama following their historic one-on-one meeting.
“The blockade is the most significant impediment for the development of the Cuban people,” he said. “That is why its elimination is essential for the normalisation of relations.”
