Mr. President,
We warmly welcome the delegation of Portugal and acknowledge its long-standing commitment to the Universal Periodic Review.
We welcome the country's acceptance of the four respectful and constructive recommendations made by Cuba.
We urge them to continue strengthening the legal and institutional framework on human rights, with the aim of promoting policies related to demographics, inequalities, climate change, and digitalisation.
We acknowledge Portugal's efforts to strengthen the rights of persons with mental health needs or psychosocial disabilities, by reinforcing the principle of autonomy and combating stigmatisation.
We wish Portugal every success in implementing the accepted recommendations and express our support for the adoption of the report.
Thank you.
