 Experts say a plea by US President George W. Bush to the
world to contribute to a fund promote democratic reform in Cuba will most likely fall on deaf
ears.According to Rob Miller, the Director of Cuban Solidarity in the UK, says he does not think that Britain would be interested. "I would be extremely surprised if the British government was to contribute to this kind of ill-informed international policy. The British government has diplomatic relationships with Cuba, we have reasonably good relations with the island," said Mr. Miller. "The Labour Members of Parliaments certainly want to see better relations with the island, in fact we have 160 Members of Parliament including Tories and Liberals who have signed a parliamentary motion calling for better relations with the island," he continued. |
