Havana, Cuba, Sep. 29 (UPI) -- Cuban leader
Fidel Castro wrapped up a two-day meeting
in Havana Wednesday with Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov aimed at expanding
relations.
While few details of the meeting were released,
Lavrov and his Cuban counterpart Felipe
Perez Roque Tuesday signed a t statement
on the importance of the formation of a
just, equal and democratic world order,
based on the strict observance of standards
of international law.
The Itar-Tass news agency said the statement
denounced all forms of terrorism and stressed
the need for developing cooperation on a
multilateral basis for fighting that evil
under the oversight of the United Nations.
At a news conference, Lavrov questioned
the need for and legality of the United
States' embargo on the island nation, which
he said poses no threat to anyone, Interfax
reported.
"These measures are envisioned in
the U.N. Charter, and they can be taken
by the U.N. Security Council when it is
necessary to fend off or prevent any threat
to peace and security," he said. "We
do not see such threats from Cuba."
