Cuba promotes José Martí International Solidarity Project in Guadalajara

 

Mexico City, Aug 23 (RHC) The deputy director of the National Office of the Martí Program, Professor Héctor Hernández Pardo, explained this Thursday in Guadalajara details of the José Martí International Solidarity Project promoted by Cuba.

He also recognized the university of that state for its contributions to that program.

The coordinator of the International Conference for the Balance of the World -which is held every two years in Havana on the days of the anniversary of the birth of the National Hero of Cuba-, makes a working visit to Guadalajara, whose university was one of the first in Mexico to open a Martí chair, of which there are already more than 50 in the world.

Among the main objectives of his visit is the creation in that state of the promotion chapter of the 6th Conference for the Mexican northwest, which will be held in Cuba on January 28 to 31, 2025.

A higher attendance is expected than this year in Havana, closed by President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, which was attended by more than a thousand delegates from 89 countries.

Hernández Pardo explained that the origins of the José Martí Project come from the first International Conference for the Balance of the World held on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Martí’s birth, in 2003, and which from the beginning has had the moral support of the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO).

In that conclave, the recently deceased Mexican sociologist, historian and critic Pablo González Casanova, decorated by UNESCO in 2003 with the José Martí International Prize for his defense of the identity of the indigenous peoples of Latin America, played a leading role. The president of the organization Francé Liberté and former French first lady Danielle Mitterrand also stood out.

During the event, the call for the 6th Conference was announced, which is open to writers, historians, journalists, artists, politicians, economists, scientists and intellectuals in general, and representatives of social and solidarity movements, union and religious leaders, among others.

It is a world forum of thought, plural and multidisciplinary, accompanied and co-sponsored by UNESCO, the Organization of Ibero-American States, the Culture of Peace Foundation, the Soka Gakkai International, the Latin American Council of Social Sciences and other institutions. international, regional and national.

Hernández Pardo highlighted that these international conferences have become academic and scientific spaces in various branches of knowledge, where professors, researchers, social activists and intellectuals from all over the world reflect around the main contemporary problems. (Source: PL)
