Communist Cuba will not change: Castro

President Raul Castro said that he would not change Cuba's communist system to make peace with the United States, but repeated his willingness to discuss all issues with the island's longtime enemy. In a speech to the Cuban National Assembly, Castro acknowledged the United States under President Barack Obama was less aggressive towards Cuba. I was elected to defend, maintain and continue perfecting socialism, not destroy it, he added.We are ready to talk about everything, but not to negotiate our political and social system, he said.
