"We cannot resign ourselves to the idea that all poor countries, which make up an enormous majority of humanity do not have another alternative other than to continue competing amongst themselves in a mad race, making more and more concessions repeatedly in order to reach the technologies and the capital of the free world in order to achieve development."

Santo Domingo and Bani, Dominican Republic - 23 August 1998
Fidel Castro met former Dominican Republic President Joaquin Balaguer - staunchly anti-communist and one of Latin America's last "caudillos" or strongmen.
On the fourth day of his first visit to the Dominican Republic, Castro also met an old friend, one-time Marxist and former President Juan Bosch.
Castro then visited Bani, the hometown of General Maximo Gomez, who fought for Cuba's independence from Spain in the late 19th century.
