Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves during his address at the United Nations General Assembly\u2019s 77th Session, made cases for Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Taiwan.
Prime Minister Gonsalves touched on issues such as the interventions made against Cuba, attempts to undermine the duly elected governments of Venezuela and Nicaragua as well as the exclusion of the nation of Taiwan from agency within the United Nations\u2019 system.
\u201cWhy are the illegal, unjust economic embargo, undeclared war, and criminal interventions against Cuba permitted to continue without let up, despite overwhelming, near-unanimous denunciation by this General Assembly? Why do we not resist unequivocally the sordid attempts by imperialism to subvert the duly-elected governments of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Republic of Nicaragua? How can we stand askance, in relative silence, and contented inaction, in disregard of Taiwan\u2019s legitimate right to exist in accord with the wishes, and will of the Taiwanese people? Why do we not encourage peace and security across the Taiwan Straits by, among other things, permitting Taiwan\u2019s participation in the specialised agencies of relevance in the United Nations\u2019 system such as the World Health Organisation and the International Civil Aviation Organisation?\u201d
The Prime Minister said that \u201cquality global leadership, in communion with the world\u2019s peoples, credible ideas for resolution, and a coherent multilateralism grounded in international law, constitute the only viable way forward for humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
