Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque is in Iran to - along with his Iranian counterpart - preside over the Ministerial Meeting of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries (MNOAL) on Human Rights and Cultural Diversity that takes place in Tehran, the Iranian capital, on Monday and Tuesday.

According to Granma news daily, the meeting follows on the agreements reached during the 14th Summit of MNOAL held in La Habana in September 2006.

The event will be an excellent opportunity for NOAL member countries to reaffirm their commitment to human rights and cultural diversity based on the principles of universality, objectivity, impartiality and non-selectivity.

Likewise, it will contribute to the strengthening of cooperation ties between MNOAL countries.

Sounds like a great meeting. I wonder if the Team Building event will be to beat a woman to death because she had sex outside the marriage and embarassed her brother. Maybe a pinata type deal.

why would any state want to align themselves with Iran and friends such as North Korea?

...also by 'aligning' themselves with each other, doesn't that really get rid of the 'non-aligned' theme?:-D

It's almost as if Cuba is outsourcing its reporting to The Onion.
