Support from Merkel


During a press conference within the frame of the annual summit of the United States and the block of 27 European nations on Monday, President George W. Bush and the German chancellor, Angela Merkel emphasized the support of the United States and the European Union to a free and democratic Cuba.


Bush emphasized that it is important that Cuba be a free society, that respects the human dignity and the rule of law.

Germany holds the rotating presidency of the European Union. The European Union will be discussing its common position on Cuba soon.
