Fidel Castro Stresses Rio Summit Results
Havana, Mar 8 (Prensa Latina) Fidel Castro stated that in the recent concluded Rio Group Summit for now peace has been sealed, as has the awareness that we can avert wars between peoples united by solid bonds of brotherhood.
This statement is included in his Saturday article entitled "The One And Only Loser."
Prensa Latina issues below the full text of Fidel Castro's reflection.
REFLECTIONS BY COMRADE FIDEL
THE ONE AND ONLY LOSER
The knock-out took place in the capital of the Dominican Republic. We followed every second of the match on Telesur. Nearly all of the Latin American presidents from the Rio Group were there. Ecuadorian President Correa had announced it the day before. I underscored the importance of this meeting in one of my reflections. It did not take place within the OAS. Most importantly, US diplomats were not in attendance. In one way or another, despite the profound ideological and tactical differences, everyone shone and showed the virtues that earned them important positions in office.
In today's crisis, these positions acquire a stark significance. The undeniable fact is that, on the brink of armed conflicts between sister nations stemming from Yankee intrigues, for now peace has been sealed, as has the awareness that we can avert wars between peoples united by solid bonds of brotherhood.
While this was taking place in Santo Domingo, Bush was at a meeting in Washington to discuss the transition in Cuba.
Though much still lies ahead, as the meeting on Globalization and Development Problems held in Havana has shown, ultimately, imperialism proved the one and only loser.
