Urgent: New U.S. policy towards Cuba bound to fail: Cuban gov't

HAVANA, June 16 (Xinhua) -- Washington's newly announced foreign policy towards Cuba is bound to fail, the Cuban government said on Friday.

"Any strategy aimed at changing the political, economic and social system in Cuba, whether it aims to achieve it through pressure or imposition, or by using more subtle methods, is doomed to fail," Cuba said in a statement published in the state daily Granma.
