Mexican President Vicente Fox on Friday voiced strong opposition to a US plan to speed up "political transition" in Cuba.

Fox was responding to a recent announcement by the US government that it would take series of measures seeking to speed up the "political transition " in Cuba by helping Cuban dissidents.

Fox said "we reject every interference presented in the case." The president stressed that Mexico's policy is based on the non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations, and thus "we will not accept interference by that country or any other."

The relations between Mexico and Cuba fell to an all time low when Mexico recalled its ambassador to Havana this week and asked Cuba's ambassador to this country to leave.

The diplomatic conflict was sparked by the words of Cuban leader Fidel Castro who said on May 1 that Mexico's foreign policywas reduced to ashes and the border of the United States was not in the Bravo River but deeper into Mexican soil.

Castro's remarks came after Mexico voted in favor of a resolution against Cuba in the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Commission.

The Mexican government decided to downgrade the two countries' relations to the level of charge d'affaires and recalled the country's ambassador to Cuba on Sunday.

In an effort to solve the bitter feud between the two sides, Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Derbez said on Friday that he wouldseek a meeting with his Cuban counterpart during a summit in western Mexico.

Despite the diplomatic tensions, Mexico has said that it has noplan to cut off diplomatic ties with Cuba and is ready to work things out with the Cuban government.
