At the event, held on August 22 and 23 in Ulaanbaatar, the Cuban legislator also stressed that the US economic, commercial and financial hostility limits the acquisition of medicines, supplies for sexual and reproductive health, as well as resources for the care of victims of sexual violence, among other aspects, according to a press release from the Cuban mission in Mongolia.

Before the Forum, sponsored by Mongolian President Khurelsukh Ukhnaay and co-sponsored by the Foreign Ministry and the United Nations (UN), the Cuban delegate took the opportunity to thank on behalf of her country the support of Mongolia to the people of Cuba in confronting the genocidal policy Washington has been carrying out for more than 60 years.

She also reiterated Cuba’s interest in continuing to develop bilateral relations in several fields, including ties between women’s organizations and political parties.

Under the theme Towards a Greener Future, the meeting brought together, among other personalities, the Mongolian President, UN Under-Secretary General Amina J. Mohammed, Chancellor Battsetseg Batmunkh and Oyungerel Batnasan, President of the Women’s Association, both from the host country.
