New York, 24 September 2019.- The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla was invited to participate today in the launching of the October issue of the MEDICC Review Journal. The issue was dedicated to Cuba's contributions to universal global health through South-South cooperation and was hosted by the Ford Foundation. The event took place one day after a High-Level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage was held at the United Nations.

Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodríguez, said today there was a lot of slander and little substance in the speech of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, before the UN General Assembly.

Varios presidentes que intervinieron este martes en el segmento de alto nivel de la Asamblea General de ONU en su 74 período de sesiones rechazaron el bloqueo que impone Estados Unidos a Cuba desde hace casi 60 años.
