Havana, May 22 (PL-RHC) -- The National Information Agency (AIN) celebrated its 40th anniversary on Wednesday with the commitment to continue reporting on Cuba objectively, systematically and transparently.

After paying tribute to Cuban National Hero Jose Marti, the director of the AIN, Edda Diz, said that since its founding on May 21, 1974, the Agency has covered both major events and everyday deeds, as well as stories weaving anonymous heroes of the nation.

In this regard, Diz highlighted the relevant work of the agency in the everyday journalistic construction that for four decades has kept a continuous flow of information about the events of the country, in a context marked by media campaigns against the island.
 

She added that the news agency cannot leave room for slander, distortion and malicious omission that are part of the strategy of ideological-political subversion against Cuba.

During the political-cultural act, the Union of Journalists of Cuba (UPEC) and the Ideological Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party recognized the informative work of AIN and the leading workers of the agency were recognized for their efforts.

With 15 correspondent offices throughout the country and a Central News Desk in Havana, a radio station and a television teletext channel, AIN offers its services to more than 100 press media, organizations and entities, at a local, national and international level.
