High-level Meeting to Commemorate the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the United Nations
26 October 2020
Nicaragua
H.E. Mr. Denis Ronaldo Moncada Colindres
Statement Summary
DENIS RONALDO MONCADA COLINDRES, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua, said that the pandemic shows the need to create a new international economic order, one in which resources destined for war are redirected towards life and peace. He rejected the politicization of the United Nations, promoted notably by the United States, and its Security Council, whose false reports and unilateral resolutions lack objectivity. He expressed solidarity with Cuba’s leadership and the legacy of Fidel Castro, condemned the embargo against that country, and demanded the immediate end of unilateral coercive measures against Venezuela and Nicaragua. He added that Taiwan [Province of China] has a right to participate in United Nations programmes. Only together can poverty, hunger, climate change — the result of savage capitalism — and safe, orderly and regular migration be addressed.
