Fidel Castro Says
Cuba Open To Dialogue
With Obama
Havana - Cuba is open to
dialogue with U.S.
President-elect Barack
Obama, but not to
"negotiate" over its
sovereignty, Fidel
Castro, the country's
former leader, said in
an article published on
Friday.
Cuba can hold talks with
Obama at any place he
wants but the
president-elect should
be aware that "the
carrot and the stick"
approach will never work
with the Latin American
nation, Castro wrote in
the signed article
"Sailing against the
tide," which was
published by the
official newspaper
Granma.
Raul Castro, president
of the council of the
state of Cuba, said in a
November interview with
American actor Sean Penn
that he was willing to
talk with Obama in a
"neutral place," such as
the U.S. Navy Station at
Guantanamo Bay. |
