Mr. Chairman,
We align ourselves to the intervention delivered by Indonesia, on behalf of the NAM Member States Parties to the NPT.
Cuba reaffirms that the total elimination of nuclear weapons is the only absolute guarantee against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons. We are convinced that as long as nuclear weapons exist, the risk of their proliferation and possible use will also persist.
Cuba calls for the rapid adoption of a universal legal instrument on negative security assurances.
