International Relations: Cuba to rally developing countries

The blog is now back to the usual ten posts!

Cuba's Foreign Affairs Minister Felipe Perez Roque, has said Cuba will seek the backing of developing countries to wrestle economic and political pressure by the world's biggest powers at a summit of the Non-Aligned Movement group this week.

Cuba, which takes over the presidency of the 118-nation group from Malaysia at a summit in Havana, will propose an agenda that includes cutting developing nations' dependence on imported energy and fighting trade policies imposed by the U.S. and other developed countries, he said.

He also said that although there will be no attack of any country in particular, "We have the right to denounce the arrogant language of a super power that has secret jails around the world, that mistreats prisoners, that invades other countries illegally and that intimidate nations."

I like the guy.
