Abstract
We (Jean Ziegler, with Christophe Golay and Claire Mahon) visited Cuba from 28 October to 6 November 2007.1 During our visit, we were honoured to be received by Carlos Lage Dávila, Vice-President of the State Council, Ricardo Alarcón de Quesada, President of the People’s Power National Assembly, and Felipe Pérez Roque, Minister for Foreign Affairs. We benefited from constructive dialogue with other government ministers, including the Ministers of Agriculture, Economy and Planning, Education, Food Industry, Fisheries, Internal Trade, Labour and Social Security, and with senior staff of other ministries. In addition, we held useful meetings with representatives of United Nations agencies and the diplomatic community.
