Milan, October 19 (RHC)-- More than 150 representatives of associations of Cuban residents in a dozen of European countries will meet in Milan, Italy, on October 21st for the 12th Meeting of Cuban Residents in Europe.

According to the organizers, participants will pay tribute to Revolution leader Fidel Castro and legendary guerrilla fighter Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, on the 50th anniversary of his death in Bolivia. They will also demand an end to Washington's aggressive policies against Cuba, particularly the latest measures adopted by the Trump Administration, which critics view as a serious setback to progress in bilateral ties achieved under the Obama Administration. 

The meeting will take place just a few days before the UN General Assembly debates and votes on a Cuban-sponsored draft resolution that urges the lifting of the U.S. blockade policy against the Caribbean state.

Organizers announced that the President of the Havana-based Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), Cuban Hero Fernando González, will participate as a guest.
