Leaders Address UNGA: Orsi Condemns Economic Embargo on Cuba

Uruguayan President Yamandú Orsi addressed the UN General Assembly, where he defended the United Nations' relevance and condemned the economic embargo on Cuba. Orsi stated that the suffering caused by a tight economic blockade, such as the one the Cuban people endure, was a major concern. His remarks contrasted with those of Javier Milei, who had spoken on the same podium two days earlier.

The speeches focused on the need for multilateral institutions to be more effective and representative. Orsi called for institutions that are closer to people's needs, noting that the UN has more reason to exist every day.
