Washington, October 21 (RHC)--  Nalda Vigezzi, co-director of U.S.  National Network of on Cuba (NNOC) described the organization's annual conference as very fruitful.

In statements to Prensa Latina, the activist highlighted that during the event which concluded on Sunday at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC,  network members discussed legislation introduced in Congress about Cuba and the importance of urging lawmakers to support them.

In this regard, she remarked that the three-day meeting also focused on the need to defend the right of Americans to travel to Cuba, at a time when the Donald Trump administration is limiting those visits even more, with the elimination of people-to-people educational trips.

Vigezzi said that the removal of that license has reduced visits to the Caribbean country and the possibility for Americans to see with their own eyes, not just the achievements of the Cuban Revolution, but the lies and misinformation of  U.S. policies.

The co-director of the National Network on Cuba added that they also talked about the work done at the state and local levels to pass resolutions condemning the blockade and in favor of bilateral relations, which have so far been endorsed in 12 cities of the United States.

Delegates also urged the more than 40 organizations that make up the NNOC to carry out actions in their cities to commemorate next December 17,  the fifth anniversary of the return to the island of the last three of the five Cuban anti-terrorist heroes who were imprisoned in the United States, and the announcement of the resumption of full diplomatic relations between the two countries.
