Fidel Castro: Human Race Needs Values to Survive
Cuba's President Fidel Castro has asserted that the human race must have values to survive and warned that it has never been as endangered as it is now.

When addressing the Wednesday closing ceremony of the Latin American International Conference in the 21st Century: Universality and Originality, Fidel Castro said that mankind is a wonder that deserves to survive.

After having received lethal doses of barbarism and ignorance, the world needs to spread education as a means to instill human values, noted the Cuban president.

Education is a universal ethical activity in this world, which is currently involved in the selfishness of globalization, he added.

The world is having troubles with the most powerful country, led by ignorant persons, he said referring to US President George W. Bush.

The Cuban leader warned that if self-centered war and its police prevails, all the human race is in danger of disappearing.

"Consciousness is the only weapon that can save humankind," added Fidel Castro.

Meanwhile, the Cuban leader praised the recent meeting of the Venezuelan, Colombian and Brazilian presidents with the head of the Spanish government, in which Washington's foreign policies were criticized.
