The summit meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement, to be held Sept. 11-16, should receive the greatest attention of the state and the Cuban nation so it is held with the most brilliance possible on the scheduled date.
The 80th anniversary of my birthday, which thousands of people so generously agreed to celebrate next Aug. 13, I ask that it be postponed for Dec. 2 of this year, the 50th anniversary of the landing of the Granma.
I ask the Central Committee of the party and the National Assembly of Popular Power to give their firmest support to this proclamation.
I do not have the slightest doubt that our people and our revolution will fight to the last drop of blood to defend these and other ideas and measures that are necessary to safeguard this historic process.
Imperialism will never be able to crush Cuba.
The Battle of Ideas will continue.
Long live the fatherland!
Long live the revolution!
Long live socialism!
Always toward victory!
Fidel Castro Ruz Commander in Chief First Secretary of the party and President of the Councils of State and of Ministers of the Republic of Cuba. July 31, 2006 6:22 p.m.
