00:00The

00:15fifth day of the general debate of the ADF United Nations General Assembly concluded.

00:19Representatives of UN member states discussed urgent issues to achieve world peace.

00:24Our correspondent Jorge Gestoso with all the details.

00:27Latin America, with its views, challenges and international support,

00:32was very much present on this fifth day at the United Nations General Assembly

00:38with Cuba delivering a strong message.

00:42Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez opened his 15-minute speech

00:46by denouncing the ongoing crisis in Gaza as a genocide enabled by the U.S. support,

00:53linking it to broader patterns of impunity and ethnic cleansing.

00:59He stressed Cuba's unwavering support for Palestinian self-determination.

01:06As we meet here, 2.2 million human beings in Gaza are condemned to hunger

01:14by the genocidal extermination and ethnic cleansing actions of the Zionist regime,

01:21which enjoys the military and financial supplies and the impunity guaranteed by the government of the United States.

01:30His speech also emphasized the urgent need to tackle the escalating crisis, climate change and militarism.

01:38In the Caribbean, today we're seeing the looming threat of war,

01:43with an extraordinary naval and air deployment of an offensive nature,

01:49utterly unjustified, involving missiles, landing and assault craft and nuclear submarines.

01:59The United States brandishes the pretext of fighting crime and drug trafficking.

02:06This is a tale which no one in this chamber believes.

02:11We reaffirm our energetic rejection of threats of aggression against Venezuela,

02:18and our full support for the Bolivarian and Chavista government of this sister Latin American and Caribbean nation,

02:29and for the People's Military Union led by the legitimate President Nicolás Maduro Moros.

02:38Bruno Rodríguez painted a stark picture of worldwide suffering exacerbated by unequal resource distribution

02:46and demanded a new international order given the obsolescence of the current world order,

02:53which he argued perpetuates domination.

02:57Let us aspire to a new civilized coexistence in which solidarity, international cooperation,

03:06and the peaceful settlement of disputes prevail as alternatives to war,

03:14the use of force, aggression and occupation,

03:20opposed to unipolar domination and hegemonism,

03:27an order without blockades or universal coercive measures,

03:32based on multilateralism,

03:35and full respect for the United Nations Charter.

03:39Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov addressed the General Assembly criticizing Western relentless attempts

03:46to divide the world into us and them, into democracy or autocracy.

03:53He defended Russia's stance on Ukraine while warning of escalating risks and condemning Israel actions in the Middle East,

04:02and condemns the U.S. threats against Venezuela.

04:07Naturally, we are very alarmed by the fact that the Americans have now organized in international waters as of now,

04:17but around the international waters around Venezuela.

04:20I spoke today, yesterday, I spoke to the Foreign Minister, with Ivan Hill,

04:27and many other representatives of Latin American region and the Caribbean are very alarmed,

04:33and Brazilians as well, and the island states, such as Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

04:41I met with the Foreign Minister of Nicaragua today as well.

04:45The situation, indeed, is very serious.

04:48And talking before Lavrov, Terence Drew, the Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Neves,

04:53condemned the U.S. offensive on Venezuela and its threats and aggression,

04:58and also called Washington economic blockade to Cuba a relic,

05:03and highlighted Cuba's contribution to Caribbean health and education despite the sanctions.

05:11And on this day, once again, Palestine received an overwhelming support,

05:16while most of the speakers condemn Israel's genocide and demand an immediate ceasefire.

05:24勝fire.
