Last Americas Summit without Cuba, agree Argentina and Brazil


Argentina and Brazil Foreign Affairs ministers said in Sao Paulo both countries are committed that the next Summit of the Americas to be held in April in Colombia is the last without the participation of Cuba.

“This has to be the last summit in which Cuba does not participate”, said Argentine minister Hector Timerman, standing next to Brazil’s Antonio Patriota. The presence of Cuba is necessary so that “finally we have a Summit of the Americas”

Patriota recalled that at the previous summit then President Lula da Silva had openly expressed the support and need for Cuba to attend the meeting.

The Brazilian minister said he would be visiting Argentina ‘soon’ and announced more frequent meetings of deputy ministers to continue “intensifying the bilateral cooperation agenda”.

1. The world, at least south of our border, is moving forward, making progress towards

a more peaceful world. Now if only we could get over ourselves and stop killing people all over the world and start getting along with and respecting our neighbors, after apologizing to them for our past behavior towards them, what a different world it could be.

It does show how S. America has come out from under the thumb of the Global Capitalists and their allies. Which is a very good thing.
