Cuba reaffirms solidarity with Palestine, Nicaragua and Puerto Rico at U.N.

Bruno Eduardo Rodriguez Paria used his remarks to outline Cubas international priorities, saying Havana stands in solidarity with nations and peoples it described as victims of unilateral coercive measures. He explicitly named the Palestinian people, expressed support for the government of national reconciliation in Nicaragua, and reiterated Cuba's support for Puerto Ricos right to self-determination and independence.

He called for "fair and differentiated treatment" and reparations for African and Caribbean nations for the harms of colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade, affirmed solidarity with the Saharan people's right to self-determination, and restated Cuba's adherence to the one-China principle.
