Stan Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Pakistan Donates a Million Dollars for Hurricane Victims in Cuba HAVANA, Cuba, March 18 (acn) The Islamic Republic of Pakistan donated one million dollars to Cuba on Tuesday, to contribute to alleviate the damage caused by hurricanes Gustav, Ike and Paloma to the archipelago in 2008. The Pakistani ambassador to Havana, Najm Us Saqib, handed over the check to the Cuban Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment, Rodrigo Malmierca, describing the gesture as an expression of solidarity and friendship. Friends give their help in moments of need, said the diplomat, who, on behalf of his people and government, highly appreciated the support given by Cuba to Pakistan when after the 2005 devastating earthquake it sent over 2,000 health voluntary workers to help the victims of that disaster. Us Saqib thanked Commander in Chief Fidel Castro, Cuban president Raúl Castro, and the current Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, who had headed the aforementioned mission, and affirmed that relations between the two countries have strengthened and that the future for the two peoples is bright. Malmierca underlined that the presence of the Henry Reeve Cuban medical contingent in Pakistan, for over six months, was an act of solidarity and generosity, "the same way today Pakistan is helping us in a difficult moment: the passage of three intense hurricanes last year", he said. The Cuban minister thanked the Pakistani ambassador for the donation, and considered this help as part of "the friendship and fraternity existing between the two peoples".

carolaa Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I hope Obama is successful in restoring our relationship with Cuba. Really, we need to admit that what we've been doing isn't working. Quote
