Havana, January 29 (RHC)-- Cuban President Raul Castro says that all the wealth of Latin America and the Caribbean should become an engine for the elimination of existing inequalities in the region.
Opening the Second Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in Havana on Tuesday, Raul said it is an imperative and challenge to be able to transform all that physical capital into human capital.
Addressing the Heads of State and Government, as well as heads of delegations attending the CELAC Summit, he called on the bloc's member countries to exercise full sovereignty over natural resources, and consider appropriate policies in relation to foreign investment and transnational corporations in their nations.
