Intervention by Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, at the General Debate of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly. New York, September 26, 2026.
Mr. President of the General Assembly,
Madam Deputy Secretary-General,
In approximately three hours, it will be exactly 66 years since the Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, in a memorable speech at this very podium, declared: “Let the philosophy of plunder disappear, and the philosophy of war will have disappeared! Let colonies disappear, let the exploitation of countries by monopolies disappear, and then humanity will have reached a true stage of progress!”
