South Africa will host Continental Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba

 

Havana, January 13 (RHC) South Africa will host from January 15 to 17 the 7th African Continental Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba.

Delegations from more than 20 countries will participate in the meeting, to be held in the city of Nelspruit.

It is expected that the event will allow progress in the union and strengthening of solidarity movements with the island throughout Africa, and prove once again that Cuba is not alone.

The Cuban delegation present at the event is headed by Fernando González Llort, Hero of the Republic of Cuba and president of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP).

Senior political leaders of South Africa, as well as parties and associations in the region, will speak.

Several working commissions will be dedicated to the debate on the history of the Cuban Revolution and its contribution to the international struggle in pursuit of a more just and equitable world order.

The first meeting of this type was held in South Africa with the attendance of representatives from 12 countries.

It was co-chaired by Nelson Mandela, then South African president and anti-apartheid leader; Sergio Corrieri, president of ICAP at the time, and Father Michael Lapsley, president of the (South African) Association of Friendship with Cuba at the time.

With increasing numbers of attendees, five other events were held in subsequent years: Ghana in 1997, Angola 2010, Ethiopia 2012, Namibia 2017, Nigeria in 2019. (Source: PL)
