<p>The UK Government does not support the US embargo against Cuba. We consider the
extraterritorial impacts of the embargo, including those on UK companies, to be contrary
to international law, and we are not persuaded that these sanctions encourage potential
reforms and economic progress.</p><p>We are in regular contact with our US partners,
who are aware of our opposition to the embargo. We communicate this both privately,
and through our public statements. The United Kingdom unfailingly votes in favour
of the annual United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for an end to the
economic, commercial, and financial embargo. We have been working actively with the
Cuban Government and other organisations on ideas to reform the business environment,
and provide direct support to UK companies wishing to do legitimate business with
Cuba.</p>
