The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba addresses the General Debate of the seventy-first session of the United Nations General Assembly
“Eighty per cent of the world’s population owns only 6 per cent of all the richness, while the 1 per cent richest enjoys half of the planet’s patrimony. No less than 795 million persons in the world suffer from chronic hunger and every day 18 000 children die of poverty.
CUBA’S REPORT: On Resolution 70/5 of the United Nations General Assembly entitled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.
INTRODUCTION
In the period between April of 2015 and April of 2016 some results have been achieved in the bilateral relations between the United States and Cuba. It can particularly be indicated the re-establishing of diplomatic relations and the re-opening of embassies that were preceded by the just action of taking Cuba off the spurious list of States sponsoring terrorism, a list on which Cuba should never have been in the first place.
Cuba and countries of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean committed to boosting bilateral relations.
Dominica, Roseau, September 8, 2016. The Ambassador of Cuba in Dominica, Juan Carlos Frómeta held a working meeting with the Head of the Business Unit Competitive the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) based in the capital, Mr. Marlon Marie, as well as other officials of the organization.
Statement by the Revolutionary Government of Cuba.
On June 16, 2017, US President Donald Trump delivered a speech full of hostile anti-Cuban rhetoric reminiscent of the times of open confrontation with our country in a Miami theater. He announced his government’s Cuba policy, which rolls back the progress achieved over the last two years since December 17, 2014, when Presidents Raúl Castro and Barack Obama announced the decision to re-establish diplomatic relations and engage in a process towards the normalization of bilateral relations.
