India, Iraq Sign Energy Cooperation Agreement
domingo, 25 de agosto de 2013
25 de agosto de 2013, 10:01New Delhi, Aug 25 (Prensa Latina) India and Iraq signed an energy cooperation agreement that establishes the creation of joint ventures for oil exploration, petrochemical complexes and fertilizer plants.
A statement at the end of negotiations between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Iraqi counterpart, Nuri al-Maliki, who paid an official visit to India, says that the accord will boost economic, commercial and cooperation relations between the two countries.
The two parties agreed to make better use of areas of common interest such as agriculture and food security, water management, education, development of infrastructure, pharmaceutical products, information technology and low-cost housing.
In the first visit by a head of government from one country to the other in nearly 40 years (the last visit was paid by Indira Ghandi to Iraq n 1975), Al-Maliki’s main objectives were to strengthen bilateral ties, damaged by the second Gulf war, and reaffirm his country’s position as a major oil supplier to India.
Iraq holds the world’s fifth largest oil reserve, but its infrastructure problems due to several years of sanctions and civil war have prevented the country from developing its fields, for which it will need about 30 billion dollars immediately.
For its part, India provided technical assistance and labor force to Iraq’s oil sector in the 1970s and 1980s.

Cuba confronté à une grave crise économique
Cuba avait déjà connu une période similaire dans les années 90 pendant la “période spéciale” lorsque le PIB avait subitement chuté de plus de 30% suite à l’effondrement de l’Union soviétique.
À La Havane, à Cuba, la crise économique est présente partout. Les habitants se pressent devant les commerces, ce qui provoque d’innombrables files d’attente. La mission quotidienne de chaque Cubain est de trouver de quoi se nourrir.

Manifestations à Cuba : "Les gens manquent de tout, la situation économique et sociale est absolument horrible",
Des milliers de Cubains ont manifesté dans la rue dimanche pour protester contre le gouvernement et sa gestion de la crise économique.
Elle a été approuvée par plus de 86% des voix. Les Cubains ont adopté une nouvelle Constitution par référendum pour y inscrire l’ouverture du pays à l’économie de marché. Cuba est un des derniers pays communistes du monde, mais il reconnaît désormais le marché, la propriété privée et la nécessité des investissements étrangers dans sa Constitution, qui rappelle aussi le caractère irrévocable du socialisme.
L’Église défavorable
Un vote en apparence démocratique dans un pays qui ne l’est pas totalement. La nouvelle Constitution réaffirme le rôle unique du Parti communiste. Son premier secrétaire Raul Castro s’est rendu aux urnes, comme l’actuel chef de l’État Miguel Diaz Canel qui voit dans son vote une réaffirmation de la puissance cubaine face aux Américains et aux Européens. Le nouveau texte de la Constitution était contesté par certains Cubains sur les réseaux sociaux et par l’Église catholique.
