Mr. President,

Cuba would like to begin by thanking the United Nations General Assembly for convening this high-level event to follow up on the mandates given by this same organ in November 2014, after adopting the Resolution on the "Programme of Action in Favor of Landlocked Developing Countries for the Decade 2014-2024".
