| CELAC coordinators discuss positions to be adopted during Havana Summit National coordinators from member countries of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States are meeting in Havana January 26, prior to the 2nd CELAC Summit, where common positions on important regional and international issues will be established.
The national coordinators, most of whom are deputy foreign ministers, intend to reach consensus on the Havana Declaration and some 30 other special communiqués addressing support for Argentina's sovereignty over the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands, the blockade of Cuba, the defense of natural resources and the rights of indigenous peoples, among other issues. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez stated, on Friday, that these documents have been under consideration for several weeks, and noted that the Havana Declaration has received broad support. The meeting of national coordinators is taking place behind closed doors and could involve several sessions of deliberations, to ensure that the greatest possible consensus is achieved on proposals presented by various governments. These discussions will set the stage for the meeting to be held Monday, January 27 of foreign ministers from all CELAC countries, that is all those located in the Americas, with the exception of the United States and Canada. Cuba's foreign minister, Bruno Rodríguez Parilla, stated that CELAC has relations with other blocs and countries, but is working to become the unified voice of Latin America and the Caribbean on an international level. The Havana event will be an important step forward in the consolidation of the region's unity and sovereignty, Rodríguez said. Over the past year, Cuba has held CELAC's pro tempore presidency, focusing on the organization's efforts to reduce inequality and the greater integration of Caribbean countries. One of Cuba's proposals to the Summit is that a commitment be adopted to make Latin America and the Caribbean a region of peace and free of nuclear weapons. (PL) | |
