Cut summits, urges Colombia head
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has
taken a swipe at what he described as
"presidential tourism" on the last day
of an Ibero-American summit in Spain.
He encouraged the use of
teleconferences instead of costly
meetings, and said austerity was needed
in global diplomatic policy.
Leaders at the summit also issued a
statement calling on the United States
to end its blockade of Cuba.
They also decided to set up a permanent
Ibero-American secretariat.
