The Cuban diplomat explained to a teenage audience the characteristics of Cuba and the essence of its political, economic and social system, as well as the island's commitment to multilateralism and the noble purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. She referred, among other issues of priority in the multilateral sphere, to Cuba's achievement of sustainable development goals, which are in line with the Cuban socialist development program; to the solidarity cooperation of the island with other developing nations and to the battle against the economic, commercial and financial blockade that the United States has imposed on Cuba for almost six decades.
