Cuba to U.S.

MOSCOW. Sept 29 (Interfax) - Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said Cuba does not
pose any threat to the United States.
"I think that I will not exceed my
powers if I say that I have never seen any
hostility toward the United States on the
part of Cuba during my contacts with Cuban
friends," Lavrov told a news conference
following a meeting with his Cuban counterpart
Felipe Perez Roque.
"In principle, we view any policy
of sanctions, blockades and embargoes as
counterproductive. These measures are envisioned
in the UN Charter, and they can be taken
by the UN Security Council when it is necessary
to fend off or prevent any threat to peace
and security. We do not see such threats
from Cuba," he said.
