Mr. Chairman,
The First Special Session of the General Assembly devoted to Disarmament established the current disarmament machinery of the United Nations system, where each of its components plays a fundamental role and specific functions that must be preserved.
Cuba attaches great importance to the promotion of multilateralism as the basic principle of disarmament negotiations and to the need to make concrete progress, giving the highest priority to nuclear disarmament.
