The statement by Cuba's foreign minister Perez Roque is the first confirmation of the meeting by the Cuban government. No other details are known about the meeting, including when it will take place. The Communist Party invited Adams to visit Cuba in an effort to strengthen relations with Sinn Fein. Adams has confirmed that he plans to travel to Havana this month. Cuba has said that one of three suspected IRA figures imprisoned in Colombia spent five years in Havana as Sinn Fein's Latin American representative. Adams has denied that the three prisoners had anything to do with his party, but has also appealed for their release. Allegations that the outlawed IRA has been cooperating with Colombian guerrillas have shaken Northern Ireland's already troubled peace process. The IRA was supposed to have renounced violence as part of a wider deal that got Sinn Fein installed into a joint Catholic-Protestant government for Northern Ireland that is threatening to unravel. Perez Roque said he had nothing more to add to his earlier statement that Dublin aid worker Niall Connolly had worked for Sinn Fein while living in Havana. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_395068.html _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
