Cuba: Castro warns OAS: Hands off Venezuela

CARIBBEAN leaders gathered in Cuba rejected intervention by the Organisation of American States (OAS) in Venezuela’s internal affairs on Saturday.

The seventh summit of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) met in Havana amid attempts by OAS secretary-general Luis Almagro to sanction President Nicolas Maduro’s government at the behest of Venezuela’s right-wing opposition, which is bent on regime change.

In his opening address, Cuban President Raul Castro stressed the importance of regional unity and the commitment of the ACS members not to interfere — directly or indirectly — in the affairs of others.
