Colombia's Vice President Angelino Garzon has said the United States should abandon its 50-year economic embargo against the island nation of Cuba, state media of the communist country reported Sunday.

On an official visit to Havana, Garzon affirmed Colombia’s willingness to strengthen relations with Cuba, especially commercially, and reportedly condemned the United States’ position.

According to the Cuban state press agency, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution in October 2010 calling for the end of the U.S. embargo against Cuba for the 20th consecutive year.

The international community remained almost entirely united on the issue; one hundred and eighty-seven countries (including Colombia) voted in favor of the resolution, while only two (the United States and Israel) voted against it.
