Mr. President,
We extend a warm welcome to the delegation of Ethiopia.
We welcome the fact that the country has accepted 252 out of the 316 recommendations received, which demonstrates its political will to continue advancing in the promotion and protection of all human rights.
The effectiveness of constructive dialogue is once again demonstrated, as opposed to punitive mechanisms imposed without the consent of the State concerned, which have never yielded and will never yield results.
We are pleased that Ethiopia has accepted the three recommendations made by Cuba in a spirit of cooperation and respect.
We highlight the country's efforts in seeking solutions that ensure lasting peace and inclusive dialogue, which are crucial for the nation's development. We commend the actions planned to improve access to and quality of education, ensuring increased inclusiveness for girls and boys with disabilities.
We wish Ethiopia every success in implementing the accepted recommendations and support the adoption of its report by consensus.
Thank you.
