Forum on prestigious Mexican diplomat concludes in Cuba

Havana, Oct 9 (RHC) The 2nd "Gilberto Bosques, Ambassador to Cuba Forum" concludes today in Havana.

The event, inaugurated on Tuesday, brings together historians and members of the foreign services of Cuba and Mexico to commemorate the work of Gilberto Bosques, a Mexican ambassador who served as Cuba's ambassador from 1953 to 1964.

Gathered at the Benito Juárez Mexico House Museum, the parti-ci-pants emphasized the human values and courage of Gilberto, who, during a turbulent period in Cuba's history, helped save people persecuted by Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship (1953-1959).

They recalled that, because of his support for Cuba's cause, he was requested by the revolutionary government after January 1st, 1959, to remain in his position.

At the opening of the forum, Mexican ambassador to Cuba Miguel Díaz emphasized the importance of documenting history and remembering the legacy of Gilberto as a leader in historical diplomacy based on his country's principles.

He also thanked historians, researchers, and institutions from both countries for their efforts in documenting Gilberto's legacy for diplomacy and friendship between Mexico and Cuba.

This Wednesday, the ties between Cuba and Mexico will be discussed with emphasis on close cultural and historical links. (Fuente: PL)
