PRESS RELEASE
Prime Minister on Official Visit to Cuba
Havana, Cuba. January 16, 2019. The Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister of Belize, made his first official visit to the Republic of Cuba.
On January 15th, Prime Minister Barrow was invited by the President of Cuba, His Excellency Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, to participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the base of the towering star-shaped monument to Cuba’s national hero, José Martí. This was followed by an inspection of the national guards at the Palace of the Revolution.
Belize takes this opportunity to confirm its unwavering support for draft resolution A/73/L.3.
We do so, fortified in the universal acceptance, that international law affords no exception for violations of the rule of law.
By consistently and overwhelmingly rejecting the unilateral, economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba and its people as a violation of the Charter and international law, the General Assembly itself affirms the no exception rule.
Madame President,
