Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque (image via CBS News) inaugurated the summit non-aligned nations (Non-aligned Movement or NAM) earlier today. Representatives from over 100 countries, including the heads of state of Syria, Pakistan, and Iran, converged in Havana with the goal of creating unity amongst developing countries against “aggressions of more powerful nations.” The United States declined to take part in the summit citing its frosty relationship with the current Cuban regime.
