Ilham Aliyev
Aliyev's policies have supported the development of entrepreneurship. The nations first quarter 2009 showed growth; the economy grew 2.6 times, up 2.5 times in their industrial production. Aliyev attributes his country's economic strength not to the countries oil and gas production, but to the sound economic policies and reforms he has put in place over the last five years. The strong economic condition of Azerbaijan continues to make it a place of interest for foreign investors.http://www.turkishweekly.net/news/73638/-azerbaijan-s-successful-policy-ensured-stabile-socio-economic-development-president-ilham-aliyev-.html
A referendum in March 2009, changing the term limits for the president was approved, ending the previous two-term policy, opening the door for Aliyev to pursue a third term as president.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/country_profiles/1235976.stm More controversy follows Aleyev after his election as the ruling chairman of the New Azerbaijan Party on March 26, 2005, which the opposition party says is in direct opposition to Azerbaijan constitution.http://www.azerb.com/az-ilham-aliyev.html

Fidel Castro
On April 7, 2009, Castro met with visiting members of the U.S. Congressional Black Caucus, a day after they met with his brother Raul Castro, currently leader of Cuba. The move is seen as a first step to warming the decades-long political freeze between Cuba and the United States.CNN: U.S. lawmakers meet with Fidel Castro (April 7, 2009) However, since then, Fidel Castro released a statement putting a damper on rising hopes for better U.S.-Cuba relations by saying U.S. President Barack Obama had misinterpreted his brother's apparently conciliatory words in the above meeting.
