Barbados Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Joseph Goddard addressing the world body on the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States against Cuba,” said that the move had prevented the Communist Caribbean country from expanding its commercial ties with the rest of the world.
