The officials delivered a message from Commander in Chief Fidel Castro. It was reported that the message refers to the confrontation between FAPLA [People's Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola] and Cuban internationalist troops and Pretoria's escalating aggression. Mugabe said that the battles the Cubans are fighting together with the Angolans symbolize the materialization of the Frontline States' will to struggle against the racist regime of Pretoria. The Cuban delegates arrived in Harare from Lusaka, where they delivered a message from Fidel to the Zambian leader, Kenneth Kaunda. -END-
