UN General Assembly
2015

The celebration of the seventieth anniversary of the United Nations also coincides with a very happy event, namely, the normalization of relations between the United States of America and Cuba, which Chad welcomes. We commend the courage shown by the leaders of those two countries to achieve that outcome. We urge them to continue their constructive dialogue until we see a complete and definitive lifting of the embargo that Cuba has unjustly suffered for decades, which will enable that country to recover the place it merits in the concert of nations. Before concluding my remarks, the delegation of Chad would like to congratulate the President on his election and thank his predecessor for his remarkable work. We also pay tribute to the Secretary-General of our Organization for his personal and steady investment in the search for peace and security in the world.
