President of Cuba, Raul Castro, today assured the continuity of the socialist system and reiterated his willingness to dialogue with the United States, on any subject despite their vast differences.
 
In closing the Fourth Regular Session of Parliament, Raul Castro stated that Havana will not give up its socialist political system after the agreement to restore diplomatic relations with the United States.
 
We are willing to discuss all issues on the basis of equality and reciprocity. In the same way that we have never suggested that US change its political system, we will demand respect for ours, he concluded.
