Ambassador Rodolfo Benítez Verson, Permanent Representative of Cuba, speaks in the interactive dialogue with the group of experts on people of African descent – agenda item 9. 60th Human Rights Council.

Mr. President,

We warmly welcome the Group of Experts. We take note of its presentation and acknowledge the work it has done for more than 20 years to combat racism and racial discrimination.
