Madam President;
Excellences, Permanent Representatives;
Delegates;
On June 25, 2018, a 181 days-old boy named Adam López Macías underwent a surgery aimed at correcting a life-threatening congenital malformation that consisted in a transposition of the great arteries. The surgery lasted 5 hours. His delicate condition, plus a subsequent hypotension and bradycardia, forced doctors to keep his small sternum open until June 29, that is, 96 hours.
The UN General Assembly almost unanimously adopted this Thursday, 1 November for the twenty-seventh consecutive year, the resolution demanding the lifting of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by United States against Cuba for almost 60 years.

Cuban Minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment, Rodrigo Malmierca, stressed on Monday the importance of strengthening foreign investment in the national economy.
We should strengthen the still incipient foreign investment in the Cuban economy, Malmierca said during the opening ceremony of the 36th edition of the Havana International Fair, FIHAV 2018, in which President Miguel Diaz-Canel attended.
