India supports a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the end of the US embargo on Cuba and also reiterates opposition to extraterritorial laws that affect other countries’ sovereignty. Multiple outlets report that the vote takes place in the UNGA, with India backing the text.
The UNGA resolution is adopted by the 193-member General Assembly, with the vote recorded as 130 in favour, 17 against and 25 abstentions, according to the accounts provided. The coverage is largely consistent on India’s position and the vote tally.
One outlet adds that the voting session includes a rare, acute confrontation on the Assembly floor involving Cuban and US representatives, with the Assembly president temporarily suspending proceedings to restore order. Other reports focus on India’s alignment with the resolution and do not add details about the in-session dispute.
