HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuban President Raul Castro repeated on Wednesday an offer to discuss "everything" with the United States to try to improve relations, but said Cuba did not have to make any "gestures" to its long-time enemy.

"We have reiterated that we are willing to talk about everything with the United States, in equality of conditions, but not to negotiate our sovereignty, nor our political and social system, the right to self-determination, nor our internal affairs," he said in a speech to a ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement.

"Cuba has not imposed sanctions against the United States ... and therefore it is not Cuba that has to make gestures," he said.

JG: Raul is 100% correct. Cuba does not have to change a thing. It is the U.S. government that has been the aggressor country during the last 50 years. The U.S. government is the one that has to modify its aggressive and arrogant behavior. Cuba will not return to the corrupt capitalism of the 1950's and the rigged undemocratic elections of Fulgencio Batista. Keep the bad Cubans in Miami.
