73 UNGA: Cuba's Intervention at NAM Extraordinary Meeting on Venezuela. New York, February, 12, 2019.

Mr. Jorge Arreaza, Minister of People's Power for Foreign Affairs.

The delegation of Cuba welcomes you to this Extraordinary Meeting of the Coordinating Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement.

We believe it is very timely and convenient that Venezuela, in the person of its Foreign Minister, should come to this forum, which he also presides over, to provide us with updated information on the most recent events taking place against the sister nation of Venezuela, its constitutional and legitimate President, Nicolás Maduro Moros, and the Civic-Military Union of his people.

Mr. Chairman,

We thank the Delegation of Palestine, as Chair of the G77 and China, for convening this Interactive Dialogue and take this opportunity to welcome H.E. Mr. Mohammad Shtayyeh, Minister of the Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Reconstruction.

Mr. Chairman,

Growing inequality hinders significant and lasting progress towards the goals we set ourselves in Copenhagen. We firmly believe that development will not be sustainable as long as it is not truly inclusive.

Mr. President,

Latin America and the Caribbean is today the scenario of persisting threats, inconsistent with the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace signed by the Heads of State and Government at the Second Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States in January 2014.

73 UNGA: Reply by Ambassador Anayansi Rodríguez Camejo, Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, to the statements made by the United States delegation at the Security Council meeting. New York, 26 January 2019.

Mr. President,

We have again asked for the floor to reply to the slanderous statements of United States Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and Mr. Elliot Abrams, which I reiterate that we utterly reject. Both deliberately lie and ignore that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is a free, independent and sovereign nation that makes its own decisions.

73 UNGA: Statement by Cuba at Security Council Quarterly Open Debate on the Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian Question. New York, 22 January 2019.

Mr. President,

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

The Cuban delegation regrets that since the last open debate on this issue no progress has been made in favor of the just cause of the Palestinian people. On the contrary, the situation on the ground continues to deteriorate, with unilateral actions such as the withdrawal of financial support from the United States to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Middle East.

Mr. Chairman,

We are very pleased to welcome the State of Palestine in its capacity as Chair of the Group of 77 for 2019. I assure you that it can count on Cuba's full support in said endeavor. With this chairmanship, the Group of 77 has once again recognized the activism and outstanding role of the State of Palestine as a full member of our Group as well as the inalienable rights of its people. We are convinced that under its leadership, the Group of 77 will continue to strengthen its role in promoting and defending the interests of the countries of the South.
