Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Attends Summits and Debates of United Nations.

CUBA, September 20, 2010.- Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodríguez, is in New York to attend various summits and debates of the 65th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Rodríguez attended an event in Harlem in honor of the 50th anniversary of the meeting between Cuban Revolution Leader Fidel Castro and U.S. Civil Rights leader, Malcolm X, where they connected the Cuban Revolution and the struggles of Blacks in the U.S. Present at the event were Rosermari Mealy, author of the book ¨Fidel and Malcolm X, Memories of a Meeting,¨ and William Sales, Professor of African Studies at the University of Seton Hall.

Rodríguez said that the meeting that took place half a century ago profoundly affected various generations, and remembered that Fidel Castro, while speaking in front of the U.N. General Assembly at that time, said that the philosophy of war would only disappear when there are no longer oppressed people around the world.

Bruno Rodríguez emphasized that the words of Fidel, spoken so many years ago, are still relevant today. He also renounced the campaigns and hostility that the United States continues to carry out against Cuba as the blockade remains intact. Rodríguez and other members of the Cuban delegation also paid homage to Reverend Lucius Walker, a great friend to Cuba and the former leader of Pastors for Peace, who recently passed away, and called for the Freedom of the Cuban Five.
