Mr. President of the General Assembly,
Madam Deputy Secretary-General,
In approximately three hours, exactly 66 years will have passed since Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz uttered the following words, in a memorable speech delivered from this very rostrum, and I quote: “Let the philosophy of plunder disappear, and the philosophy of war will have disappeared! Let the colonies disappear, let the exploitation of countries by monopolies disappear, and then humanity will have reached a true stage of progress.”
