VP Carlos Lage Heads Cuban Delegation to Ibero-American Summit

Havana, Nov 7 (acn) Cuban Vice President Carlos Lage travelled to 
Chile, heading his country's delegation to the 17th Ibero-American 
Summit, which will run from Thursday through Saturday in the Chilean 
capital.

Ibero-American summits work as a forum for comprehensive political 
dialog among Latin American countries, Spain and Portugal. On this 
occasion participants will focus on social cohesion and policies aimed 
at achieving more inclusive societies in Ibero-America.

Social cohesion, as the major issue of the Ibero-American Summit, is 
linked to social problems facing Latin American nations, said Cuban 
deputy foreign minister Abelardo Moreno in Santiago de Chile.

Moreno, who is also Cuba's coordinator for the meeting, said there are 
prevailing necessities to meet in the nations of the region, 
particularly in the fields of health care, education, employment and 
social security, among others.

The Cuban deputy foreign minister said that following the preparation 
of the agenda by a meeting of experts, the foreign ministers from all 
participating countries will hold discussions on Thursday at the 
Ibero-American City, a locality in the outskirts of the capital 
Santiago de Chile, where the heads of state and government will also 
carry out their dialog on Friday and Saturday.
