The meeting of The Non-Aligned Movement in Cuba has come to an end. Leaders of the developing world agreed on the need to counter overwhelming US influence, and several launched blistering attacks on the United States during the summit which was chaired by Cuban Defence Chief, Raul Castro. In a voluminous final declaration, heads of state and government from 56 countries and delegates from the other NAM member states voiced their support for Irans nuclear energy programmme. They also urged UN reform to give greater weight to poor countries and expressed their opposition to terrorism and US interventionism. The next NAM summit will be held in 2009 in Egypt.
