Cuba Willing To Hold
Talks With U.S. On Equal
Footing
Cuban Foreign Minister
Felipe Perez said Friday
that the Cuban
government is willing to
negotiate with the
United States on equal
footing without
compromising its
principles.
Perez made the remarks
during the Non-Alliance
Movement (NAM) meeting
on Margarita island off
the northeastern coast
of Venezuela.
Answering questions
about the prospect for
relations between the
two countries after the
U.S. presidential
elections in November,
he said it is premature
to make any comment on
this, but one thing is
certain: Cuba's
principled positions
will remain unchanged.
These include
safeguarding Cuba's
national independence,
building the country
free of any foreign
interference and
opposition to the
economic blockade
imposed by Washington.
