72 UNGA: Statement by H.E. Mrs. Ana Silvia Rodriguez Abascal, Ambassador, Deputy Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, at the High-level Forum on the Culture of Peace. New York, 5 September 2018.

Mr. Chairman,

Cuba associates itself with the statement delivered by the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.

The culture of peace must be the essence of the United Nations, in order to save present and future generations from the scourge of war and to strengthen respect for the dignity and worth of the human person by all.

72 UNGA: Statement by Deputy Permanent Representative of Cuba, Ambassador Mrs. Ana Silvia Rodríguez Abascal, Chargé D'affaires a.i., at the Open Debate of the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East. New York, 24 July 2018.

Mr. President,

We endorse the statement delivered by the delegation of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.

Cuba expresses its serious concern at the perilous deterioration of the situation in the Middle East since the last open debate on this issue.

It is very regrettable that the Security Council, due the repeated hindrance of one of its members, was not even able to condemn the escalation of violence and the tragic events in the Gaza Strip since 30 March, resulting in the death of dozens of people and over 4,000 wounded.

Esteemed Permanent Representatives,

Dear Alicia,

Just two months ago we had the honor of hosting in Havana the thirty-seventh session of ECLAC, a moment that we particularly remember because of the celebration of the seventieth anniversary of this Commission.

With the same warmth and enthusiasm with which we received the participants at the session, we extend to all of you today a most cordial welcome.

72 UNGA: Statement by the Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment of Cuba, Rodrigo Malmierca Díaz. General Debate of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development. New York, July 17, 2018.

Madam Chair,

Cuba associates itself with the statements delivered by the delegations of Egypt on behalf of the G77 and China, El Salvador on behalf of CELAC and Maldives on behalf of AOSIS.

Three years after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, inequality and polarization in the world persist and are even worsening. Opulence and the concentration of income and wealth in developed countries are in stark contrast to the underdevelopment and poverty to which two thirds of the world's population are subjected.

Technological evolution and its accelerated development, exceeding limits that a few years ago were reserved for science fiction, entails a radical economic, social, political, cultural, biological and cognitive transformation for humanity.
