Mr President,
Cuba rejects in the strongest terms this openly hostile, interfering and politically motivated exercise against Venezuela.
Cuba is firmly opposed to the resolution that gave rise to this mandate, which is a clear example of politicisation, double standards, selectivity and an imperialist attack on a country that has chosen sovereignty and social justice as its flags.
