Cuba reiterates support for UNESCO

Havana, Nov 16 (Prensa Latina) The Cuban Government on Saturday ratified its willingness to support the global efforts of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

On the 79th anniversary of that UN agency, Cuba renews its commitment to this organization in the search for peace, the Foreign Ministry assured in a message on its X profile.

It also ratifies that Cuba “will continue to defend its multilateral and intergovernmental nature, as well as its founding values and principles.”

Founded on November 16, 1945, UNESCO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that has the purpose of contributing to peace and security in the world through education, science, culture and communications.

The constitution signed on that day came into force on November 4, 1946, and was ratified by 20 States.

In 1958, UNESCO opened its headquarters in Paris, although it currently has more than 50 offices outside the French capital.
