President Fidel Castro on Friday ended a Communist Party Congress, the first since 1991, that was dedicated to Guevara's memory. Delegates paid homage to Guevara, a doctor-turned-Cuban revolutionary hero who died three decades ago while trying to spread communism in Bolivia. His remains were brought to Cuba from Bolivia on July 12. They will be buried on Friday in a large new mausoleum in the city of Santa Clara.

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Ricardo Calderon Sol, President of El Salvador
"I told them Castro is like a fly in a cup of milk - if we are all democratic, if there is freedom in all our countries as there has never been before. Why is the press just following him (Castro) and making such a fuss about him, and I said your honours - they are making such a fuss because he is the only fly in here. That's what happened. I think Castro is out of place. His time has past. And he should understand that he should resign"
