00:00And in the context of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, we go live with our special envoy, Jorge Gestoso,
00:06who's keeping us updated on this event.
00:30Also, the participation of the U.S. in trying to derail the democracy and the way that they have organized
00:39themselves in Nicaragua.
00:41As you were mentioning, this session started early in the morning with the vice president of China, who was mostly
00:49presenting himself as a defender of multilateralism
00:54and pushing for development and prosperity, especially of the global south.
01:02A few orators after, it was the foreign minister of Cuba, Bruno Rodriguez, who took the struggle.
01:12And most definitely, he had the chance to respond to what President Trump has accused Cuba in his speech at
01:22the beginning of this session.
01:23Immediately followed came the foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, that, as the vice president of China did, he was also denouncing
01:35the blockade and the sanctions of Cuba.
01:39China and Russia were denouncing that that has to stop immediately.
01:45That is something that cannot continue, both of them also, especially the case of the vice president of China, was
01:55defender of the two-state solution in Gaza and the Palestine.
02:00In the case of Lavrov, he was pointing the finger very, very strongly against Europe and the European Union, and
02:10he said that mostly they are really defending the creation movement that he believes there is like a renaissance of
02:20the Nazi regime during the World War II.
02:24Definitely, Lavrov believes that the situation in Ukraine is a result of the interests of the Western world to keep
02:36that war at large.
02:39He also said that definitely he believes that Cuba, again, needs to be led outside of that incredible military pressure
02:51and also economic pressure.
02:52Again, also, he mentioned about Gaza, and definitely he responded that he is going to have also a press conference
03:01later in the day here at the UN.
03:04So, Sofia, we are waiting now the foreign minister Moncada of Nicaragua and expect him to, again, to condemn very
03:15strongly the interference of the United States in the life of Nicaragua.
03:19We will get back to you now, Sofia.
03:23Well, thank you, Jorge.
03:25That was our colleague Jorge Gestoso from the United Nations.
