The announcement was the signal for an immediate reconciliation between Castro and his most bitter opponent at the conference, Libyan President Qadhdhafi. The Palestinian guerrilla leader Yasir Arafat took Castro by the hand while the group of delegates did the same with Qadhdhafi. The two men met, kissed and embraced warmly to the applause of the other hands of delegations who were present in the assembly hall. The reconciliation brought to an end a philosophical struggle between the two leaders which emerged when Castro accepted at the summit conference that he was a Marxist-Leninist and that communism was Cuba's ultimate objective. Colonel Qadhdhafi answered then that the Cuban leader had no place at this Third World meeting. -END-
