Havana, November 4 (RHC) -- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Saturday highlighted the capacity and commitment of the Union of Journalists of the Caribbean nation to develop its potential.

On the social network X, the president stressed that the union has passion, talent and the support of the Communist Party of Cuba to "untie all the knots that bind thought and find the best ways for the journalism that our people deserve to flourish".

Speaking the day before at the closing ceremony of the 11th Congress of the Union of Cuban Journalists -UPEC-, the president insisted on the need to improve the work of the organization and the relevance of resorting to creativity and innovation to make its informative and formative function more effective.

Without a critical press that appeals to conscience and human values, there is no Revolution; without political, institutional and social communication, there is no Revolution; without committed, credible, ethical, demanding, critical and educational journalism, there is no Revolution, he said.

He stressed that the experiments of the management models promoted by the Cuban press as part of its transformation process, and in the midst of a difficult economic situation, will give results, but they must be approached integrally in order to increase their contributions to society.

We have enormous confidence in journalists as fellow travelers in the purpose of promoting the country's development, he assured.

After two days of debate, the XI Congress concluded with the approval of UPEC's Action Plan until 2028, and the election of its leadership for the next five years, in which its current president, Ricardo Ronquillo, was ratified . (Source: Prensa Latina).
