Cuban FM Starts NAM
Debates on Women
Guatemala -
Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Felipe Perez Roque assured that
only by changing the unfair world order it will be possible to
guarantee total benefit of the rights and the well-being of all
women.
Perez Roque inaugurated the second Ministerial Conference of the
Non-Aligned Movement on the Advancement and challenges of Women in
achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals.
He affirmed that the modest UN goals set back in 2000 won’t come
true, definitely not for a shortage of money, but for lack of
political will and ethical coherence, as demonstrated day by day.
He denounced million of dollars appeared to save banks, however, to
fulfill UN millennium goals, there were no funds to give 150 billion
dollars for this cause, a small amount of money if compared to what
is destined to the financial systems.
It is time to join up to end the selfish waste and the intense
consumption of those who threaten the future of our people and the
life of our planet, the Minister expressed in his speech.
Perez Roque said another subject is the situation of Palestinian
girls and women who were victims of the Israeli aggression against
the Gaza Strip.
Cuban FM emphasized during his speech the importance of this
encounter, where agreements on vital issues for the well-being of
our countries and the progress of the legal and social condition of
women population will be tackled. |
