Cuban President speaks at UN high-level meeting, denounces racism and xenophobia

Speaking during a meeting on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which took place on the first day of the high-level segment of the 76th UN General Assembly, running from September 20 through 27, Diaz-Canel urged the United Nations to work together for a more equitable, just and democratic world.

He also called to renew and strengthen multilateralism, solidarity cooperation and the search for global solutions to common problems.

During this year’s General Assembly, world leaders will focus their attention on two fundamental issues: the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change.
