STATEMENT BY RODOLFO BENÍTEZ VERSON, AMBASSADOR OF CUBA TO THE NEHAWU INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING
18 April 2018
Dear Comrades and friends,
Thank you very much for the invitation to make a presentation on Cuba to this meeting.
Before referring to my country, I think it is important to make some comments on the current international situation. Let me just mention a few statistics.
815 million persons in the world suffer today from chronic hunger, tens of millions more than in 2015. Every day 18 000 children die of poverty and 760 million adults are illiterate.There are 22.5 million refugees.
