The Ministerial Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement's Coordinating Bureau opens sessions today at Havana's Conventions Center with the participation of 120 countries of the world.

The meeting, which is the last one to take place prior to the 15th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Non Aligned Movement (NAM) to be held in Egypt, will hold a segment of high-level officials on Monday and Tuesday, said deputy foreign minister Abelardo Moreno.

Moreno, who is also the Cuban ambassador to the United Nations, said that participants at the meeting, will be analyzing a wide gamut of subjects contained in the draft declaration of the forum, which include disarmament and the fight against drugs and terrorism.

The meeting will also address the need for a new international economic order, the world economic and financial crisis, as well as decolonization processes, particularly in the case of Puerto Rico.
