Mexican president urges diplomatic path amid US blockade of Cuba

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum told a press briefing on Monday that her government supports a peaceful resolution to tensions between the United States and Cuba, advocating the use of diplomatic and multilateral channels over violence or invasion.

Multilateral institutions, like the United Nations, should be utilized to resolve conflicts, and the United Nations "should also send humanitarian aid," said Sheinbaum.

She noted that Mexico will continue to support the Cuban people through humanitarian aid, adding that a new ship loaded with supplies departed on Monday.

The president also reiterated the Mexican government's opposition to the commercial blockade imposed on Cuba, which restricts the flow of fuel and other essential resources.
