U.N.’s Annan off to NAM summit

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan confirmed his presence later today at the summit of non-aligned countries taking place in Havana, Cuba. A U.N. spokesman added that Annan will speak at the summit on Friday about the need for impoverished countries to have a louder voice in global affairs.

Earlier this week, a spokesman for Colombia’s largest leftist guerilla group urged the Nonaligned Movement (NAM) to assist in finding an end to Colombia’s civil conflict, and Haiti was admitted as one of the two new members to NAM. (Image via CBS News).
