Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Cuban Government strongly rejects the current deployment of United States military forces in the Caribbean Sea. This dangerous action represents a serious threat and an aggressive show of force against the sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. Furthermore, it ignores the commitment of the 33 Member States of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States when they proclaimed the region as a Zone of Peace.
On Wednesday, Cuba's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Ernesto Soberón Guzmán, expressed his gratitude to the President of the UN General Assembly, His Excellency Mr. Philemon Yang, for his firm commitment to defending multilateralism and the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, in an international context that demands greater cooperation and solidarity in the face of unilateralism.
During the Second Regular Session of the Executive Board of UNDP/UNFPA/UNOPS, in the segment dedicated to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Ambassador Ernesto Soberón Guzmán, Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, reaffirmed Cuba's commitment to the agency's strategic priorities and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
