Mr. President;

Mr. Secretary General;

I dedicate these first words to ratify Cuba’s solidarity and support to the brotherly people of Palestine, victim of more than 75 years of colonial occupation, flagrant violations to their legitimate rights as a nation, submitted to cruelty, aggressions, collective punishments and apartheid.

It is an unacceptable tragedy, plain for all to see; it’s a wound in human consciousness.

I thank you all for your presence and for accepting the invitation of the Permanent Mission of Cuba to the UN to discuss a topic of great importance to Cuba, for international relations and for bilateral relations between Cuba and the US.

On several occasions, we have said that it is not possible to conceive a full bilateral relationship between Cuba and the US and for this relationship to be sustainable as long as the Helms-Burton Act remains in force.

It is about this law that I intend to share some ideas.
