Castro's communism pledge as Cuban-Americans protest in Miami

Hundreds of Cuban-Americans took to the streets of Miami on Saturday to protest against US President Barack Obamas plans to restore relations with Havana.

Washington has said the historic end of over fifty years of hostilities between the two countries would not bring quick changes but ultimately would lead to greater freedom in Cuba.

I think that what is happening is nothing but this administration surrendering to prevent democracy reaching Cuba. Its making concessions for a dictatorship that is not willing to make changes, explained protester Ninoska Perez Castelln.

Meanwhile in Havana, Cuban president Raul Castro welcomed Washingtons move to normalise relations, which allows both countries to discuss matters on equal terms. However, he also warned that the US must respect communist rule in Cuba.

No one should think that in order to improve relations with the United States, Cuba should renounce the ideas for which it has fought for over a century, said Raul Castro.

The Cuban president also confirmed the country would attend the Summit of the Americas in Panama next April, where for the first time in more than fifty years a Cuban president will sit at the same round table as a president of the US.

Castro says dtente won't change socialism in Cuba

Cuban President Raul Castro has hailed a recent U.S. move to normalize bilateral relations, but stressed that Havana will not give up socialism.

Speaking at the National Assembly in Havana on Saturday, Castro said he is open to discussing a wide range of issues with Washington, but added his country would not bow to pressure to change its core political principles.

Just as we have never proposed to the United States to change its political system, we will demand respect for ours, Castro said.

"There are profound differences between the governments of the United States and Cuba that include, among others, differing concepts about exercising national sovereignty, democracy, political models and international relations," the Cuban president said.

The thawing of U.S.-Cuba relations follows 18 months of talks between the longtime foes. In his speech to the assembly, Castro said change would come slowly.

"This will be a long and difficult struggle," he said.

In related business, members of parliament gave a standing ovation to three men convicted of spying in the United States who were released as part of an historic agreement to restore relations between the two long-hostile countries.

The three men, known as the "Cuban Five" and long regarded as heroes in Cuba, appeared before the National Assembly along with family members.

Seated behind them in the audience was Elian Gonzalez, the young Cuban who in 2000 was at the centre of a bitter custody battle between relatives in Miami and his father in Cuba.
