76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly

The U.S. condemns unequivocally the militant attack on Friday that led to the death of a French soldier in Mali. We stand firmly beside our close ally France and continue to partner with Mali on its path back to democracy and stability.

We welcome the PRC government’s release of Canadian citizens Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor after more than two-and-a-half years of arbitrary detention.

As the Cuban government continues to silence Cubans with prison and repression, we call on the freedom-loving nations of the world to support the Cuban people’s desire for human rights and democracy.
