UN General Assembly
2025

Santo Domingo Principe solemnly reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the fundamental principles of non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states and respect for territorial integrity, essential pillars of international law and the UN Charter. Santo Domingo Principe also expressed its deep concern regarding the persistent disregard of the international community's appeals for the lifting of economic, financial and commercial restrictions imposed on the Republic of Cuba. We observe with concern the worsening of these policies through new extra-territorial measures that compromise Cuba's economy and affect its resilient people. Domestically, we remain committed to consolidating peace and stability, essential conditions for our progress. In this regard, a reform of our security and defense system is underway, aimed at institutional modernization, technical capacity building and the construction of a more effective, transparent and resilient sector, founded on a preventive approach to conflict. However, this is a demanding process that requires the cooperation of our international partners, both technically and financially, to guarantee its success.
