HAVANA, Cuba. Bruno Rodriguez, Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs, urged the representatives of the Non Aligned Movement (NAM) to establish guidelines that will allow them to keep on strengthening the unity among its members.
While inaugurating the Ministerial Meeting of NAM's Coordinating Bureau at Havana's Convention Center, Rodriguez said that the main objective is to prepare for the 15th NAM Summit to be held in Egypt, July 11-16, and to evaluate what has been done during the last three years.
This Monday and Tuesday, top level experts will hold closed door meetings to negotiate the documents to be approved by the Foreign Ministers of over a hundred nations, when the Ministers meet on Wednesday and Thursday.
"We are gathering during a particularly complex international situation, marked by a world economic crisis whose repercussions reach every sector of interest for the Movement, and which influences in an important way the determination of our priorities in the near future" said the Cuban FM.
In that regard, Rodriguez underscored that one of this meeting's main responsibilities will be "reaching agreement to back up our leaders' quest for joint, fair and sustainable solutions for the world economic and social crisis".
Rodríguez said that the recession "without parallel in almost a century, is a direct result of the prevailing unfair international economic order, of the international financial system imposed on our peoples and of the out-of-control activity of the massive capital from the industrialized
centers of power".
The recession has worsened with a food crisis, added to the volatility of the price of energy, the environmental crisis and climate changes that threaten humankind, said Rodriguez.
"Our economies," said the Cuban foreign minister, "are suffering their effects and our people can see the solutions to the worst social problems that affect them moving farther away".
