The draft UN resolution calling for the end of the US economic embargo has been adopted after 187 UN member states voted in support of the resolution.

The 187 member states argued that the US decision to ignore the previous resolutions of the World Body with impunity was unacceptable.

Vice President Nangolo Mbumba has also called on the international community, particularly members of the G77 plus China bloc, to stand in solidarity against western powers that enforce unfair and unilateral sanctions against developing countries.

Namibia will continue to advocate for the lifting of sanctions and economic blockade on Venezuela, Cuba and Zimbabwe by the USA.

President Hage Geingob says the affected countries are trying their best to develop and appealed for humanity to prevail.
