Statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, at the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations. New York, September 28, 2024.
Mr. President;
Mr. Secretary General;
I dedicate these first words to ratify Cuba’s solidarity and support to the brotherly people of Palestine, victim of more than 75 years of colonial occupation, flagrant violations to their legitimate rights as a nation, submitted to cruelty, aggressions, collective punishments and apartheid.
It is an unacceptable tragedy, plain for all to see; it’s a wound in human consciousness.
