கியூபாவுக்கு அதிகாரபூர்வ பயணம் மேற்கொண்டிருந்த ஜனாதிபதி மகிந்த ராஜபக்ச கியூபாவின் முன்னாள் அதிபர் பிடெல் காஸ்ரோவைச் சந்திக்க முயன்ற போதும் அந்த முயற்சி தோல்வியில் முடிந்துள்ளதாகத் தகவல்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.
கியூபாவின் முன்னாள் அதிபர் பிடெல் காஸ்ரோ, உலகில் மதிப்புக்குரிய தலைவர்களில் ஒருவராக கருதப்படுகிறார். தற்போது ஓய்வில் உள்ள அவர், கியூபாவில் இப்போதும் செல்வாக்குமிக்க ஒருவராகவே இருந்து வருகிறார்.
இவரைச் சந்தித்துப் பேச ஜனாதிபதி மகிந்த ராஜபக்ச,வெளிவிவகார அமைச்சின் ஊடாக முயற்சிகளை மேற்கொண்டிருந்தார். ஆனால் அவரது கியூப பயணத்தின் போது பிடெல் காஸ்ரோவை சந்திக்கும் வாய்ப்புக் கிடைக்கவில்லை.
கியூபா சென்ற பல வெளிநாட்டுத் தலைவர்களை பிடெல் காஸ்ரோ சந்தித்த போதும், ஜனாதிபதி மகிந்த ராஜபக்சவை அவர் சந்திக்கவில்லை என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
எனினும், கியூபாவின் தற்போதைய அதிபரும், பிடெல் காஸ்ரோவின் சகோதரருமான ரவுல் காஸ்ரோ, துணை அதிபர் மரினோ முரிலோ ஜோர்ஜ் ஆகியோரை மகிந்த ராஜபக்ச சந்தித்துப் பேசியிருந்தார்.
That is very interesting. May be lobbying is illegal in Havana, Cuba. They do have a great medical research institute.
Do you know the best medical care is in Sweden and it is a public system of health care. Remember it has a democratic system of government in place. Apparently the health care in Cuba is not anything great and we know what system of government they have there. One single bunch of criminals hold on to power in these countries and that happens to anything managed by them. When the transition of power happens it happens within the family or friends only. It’s a shame such systems are made to look like the models for others to follow here.
Why not take refugee status in Sweden and try to paint your face white at the same time. Your ignorance about the Cuban revolution is appaling and I hope it is not representative of Tamil philips genearally!
Why not you take refuge in Cuba and enjoy the high life of Cuban socialism. I am not talking about their revolution, I am telling how bad things are in such countries. Go live there and stand up on the main street of Havana and criticize uncle Fiedel and they will have you in their 4th floor equivalent the next minute.
“Your ignorance about the Cuban revolution is appaling and I hope it is not representative of Tamil philips genearally”, you mean to say all Singhalese people are very knowledgeable about the Cuban revolution. Next time I am in SL I will ask the 1st Singhalese man or woman I meet, may be he/she can preach me on this if not Buddhism ! Don’t’ try to fool others by trying to pull them to your by praising them with your ulterior motives.
Fidel Castro is a lawyer. Che Guevarra is a medical doctor. These Spanish speaking guys thought that they can stick it up to the West lead by the English speaking USA . You see Hugo Chavez of Venezuela a lot. What does he want? Just attention!
Have you watched the motor cycle diaries ?
I have heard about the sages who refused to meet Alexander The Great, this is something unbelievable, how dare you little Castro ?
சிற்றப்பன் வீட்டை போனால் -நீ

பெரியப்பன் வீட்டை போனால்-நீ

Philip, what are motor cycle diaries? Now only I learnt that Alexander the Great is a Macidonian and that they have erected a statue for him there. Cuba is still at 1959 in many ways though it is only 90 miles away from the USA.
Its a movie about Che Guvera, beautifuly done.
Thanks, Philip. In 1970 I went to the Peradeniya Campus and was assigned to the James Peiris Hall. It was written over it as Ernesto de Che Guevarra Hall. The man who helped to clean it passed away a few years ago. Dr. Vijitha Yassasse Kuruwita, Professor, Rector and Vice Chancellor at Wayamba. A true Royalist to the core. I never got to meet his wife and 3 sons. Mallika Transport came to Batticaloa from Kuliyapitiya. 1965. UNP.
At the place I went to for my college education the following was written on a entrance to a toilet., “Bandaranayake International Toilet”. This was the time everything was being named Bandaranayake this and Bandaranayake that like BIA, BMICH etc. etc.
Philip let us forget about Cuba. The 1971 war in East Pakistan is a major global and ra egional event. People like Dr. Wickremabahu Karunaratne knew the consequences then itself. To me this is indeed, Abdullah, It is Me, as I am a Sengunthar born on December 27, 1950. Where are you domiciled? I lived in North America from 1981 to 1997. Now, Chandrika is blaming her father. 1956.
