73 UNGA: Statement by Teresa Amarelle Boué, Secretary General of FMC and Member of the Council of the State of the Republic of Cuba to the 63rd Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). New York, 14 March 2019.

Madame Chair,

On behalf of the Cuban government and people, I convey greetings to you and to the distinguished personalities attending this 63rd Session of the Commission on the Status of Women.

The priority issue is of significant importance in order to seek viable alternatives that contribute to transforming the reality in which millions of women are still living worldwide. It is not enough for rights to be recognized in international instruments or laws to be passed, if there is no genuine political will within each of the States for their implementation.

Esteemed Permanent Representatives,

Dear Alicia,

Just two months ago we had the honor of hosting in Havana the thirty-seventh session of ECLAC, a moment that we particularly remember because of the celebration of the seventieth anniversary of this Commission.

With the same warmth and enthusiasm with which we received the participants at the session, we extend to all of you today a most cordial welcome.

72 UNGA: Statement by the Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment of Cuba, Rodrigo Malmierca Díaz. General Debate of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development. New York, July 17, 2018.

Madam Chair,

Cuba associates itself with the statements delivered by the delegations of Egypt on behalf of the G77 and China, El Salvador on behalf of CELAC and Maldives on behalf of AOSIS.

Three years after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, inequality and polarization in the world persist and are even worsening. Opulence and the concentration of income and wealth in developed countries are in stark contrast to the underdevelopment and poverty to which two thirds of the world's population are subjected.

Technological evolution and its accelerated development, exceeding limits that a few years ago were reserved for science fiction, entails a radical economic, social, political, cultural, biological and cognitive transformation for humanity.
