The world is facing one of the most complex scenarios in history. Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic, social and health impacts are incalculable.

Mr. President,
Distinguished members of the Committee,

This is a complex situation that is being closely followed by the Cuban government and has multiple causes.
