Det er et land, der overtager formandskabet for de alliancefrie lande, og som skal være vært for deres topmøde i 2006. Det er et land, der udsender tusindvis af læger, lærere og sportstrænere, men ikke soldater for at besætte, udbytte og undertrykke.
This is a country that, in spite of the embargo, achieved the highest economic growth in the past 45 years in 2005, a country that is set to take on the presidency of the non-aligned movement and to host its 2006 summit, and a country that sends thousands of doctors, teachers and sports coaches to other countries, rather than armies to occupy, exploit and oppress.
