In Brazil, Latin American and Caribbean leaders wrapped up a summit Wednesday seeking greater regional integration.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva: “What we are discovering today is that among us there are other opportunities we had not discovered yet, which we had not discussed, because it was much easier to turn either to the United States or to the European Union.”

Leaders at the summit, meanwhile, appeared to reject a proposal from Bolivian President Evo Morales on protesting US policy towards Cuba. Morales said all Latin American countries should expel their US ambassadors until the US ends the Cuban embargo.
