Foreign Affairs Minister Kamina Johnson Smith has called for reform and greater integration of Cuba in international economic systems.

This in response to the isolation caused by the blockade imposed by the United States.

Mrs. Johnson Smith was speaking at the 81st United Nations General Assembly Session, on rebuilding global multilateral cooperation during a period marked by deep geopolitical rivalries, humanitarian crises, and intensifying climate change.

The Foreign Affairs Minister stated that Jamaica is deeply concerned about the suffering of Cubans.
