HAVANA, Cuba, September 2 (ACN) Cuba reiterated today at the United Nations (UN) its support for UNICEF’s mandate and its commitment to the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents.
In his speech at the second regular session of the UNICEF Executive Board, Ernesto Soberón Guzmán, Cuba’s permanent representative to the UN, recognized the organization’s work in contexts marked by conflicts, inequality and climate crises and stressed the importance of ensuring adequate, flexible and predictable resources so that UNICEF can meet its goals in developing countries.
Likewise, the Cuban diplomat underscored the value of UNICEF Strategic Plan for 2026–2029, as well as the need to harmonize statistical information on children and adolescents with national governments so that their actions address major social challenges.

He also announced the 7th round of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) between November 2025 and February 2026, which will provide key data to design of public policies and monitor the 2030 Agenda.
