 CUBA CASTRO OFFERS NEW INVESTMENT  TO AMERICAN INVESTORS

Havana, CubaRaul Castro President of Cuba said today that Cuba is ready to sit down and negotiate a peaceful fair solution with President Obhama of the USA. The Cuban investment offer to the USA was made by Cuban President Raul Castro as he stated once again that his government is ready to enter into talks with the United States bases on mutual respect and understanding.

Castro was quoted as saying "Cuba is ready for American Investment. If President Obama wants to discuss the problems of democracy, as they say, freedom of speech, human rights, the things they have invented for years, we will discuss them," he said. But he added that the Cuban government has its own grievances that also need to be discussed.

Raul Castro comments came on the 59th anniversary of the Cuban assault led by former Cuban president Fidel Castro on a military barracks that marked the beginning of the Cuban revolution back in 1959.

Cuba and Raul Castro in particular has expressed willingness to talk and negotiate with Washington. In April 2009 speaking at a summit of Latin American leaders gathered in Venezuela, he said he was willing to discuss "everything, everything, and everything" with the United States, even such sensitive topics as human rights, freedom of the press and political prisoners.

Cubans were given a holiday from work Thursday, and the July 26 event has historically been reserved for important announcements. Castro speech was broadcast several times on Cuba's state-controlled media companies.

Castro comments were made as several off-the-cuff jokes and said he had not planned to give a speech about Cuba and American Investments.

Cuban First Vice President Jose Ramon Machado Ventura had already given the keynote address, in which he questioned whether  the United States return the naval base near the Cuban town of Guantanamo, where this year's celebrations are taking place.

The USA has a 50 year old trade embargo on Cuba, and any Investment changes in US-Cuba business relations have been delayed by a number of risky financial protection and insurance issues, including the jailing of State Department contractor Alan Gross on charges of espionage in Cuba.

After Cuban Vice-President Machado Ventura's speech, President Raul Castro took the stage to thank the huge Cuban crowd. But he said he had made several speeches this week and would not be making formal comments.

Then he jumped into the long debated  and strained U.S.-Cuba relations, saying he would prefer the two countries were adversaries only on the baseball field especially when it came to Hotel and resort Investments, real estate, mutual fund investments and any health care, travel and insurance investments that benefited Cuba and the foreign investors.

There was an olive branch for the Cuba's internal financial, tourism and investment critics, who Cuba's state-run media lambaste as paid mercenaries working in the employ of the American foreign government. "Factions" within Cuba, Castro said, "are trying to lay the groundwork so that one day what happened in Libya will happen here in Cuba, exactly like what they're trying to make happen in Syria."

This week leading Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya died in a mysterious car crash. The Cuban government officially stated the crash was the result of an unfortunate accident, but members of Paya's family have said they believe he was intentionally targeted for elimination for his opposition to the Cuban government human right s policy.

Foreign investors in Cuba are all anxiously awaiting the new investment opportunities to open as the next tourism and real estate season start later this year.
