00:04On the heels of the May 1st Parade Celebration, an International Cuba
00:08Solidarity Benquit off Saturday in Havana at the International Conference Center.
00:14766 activists, representing 152 organizations from 36 countries, are attending the event
00:20under the motto, A War With Not Blockades, Active Solidarity, in the centennial birth
00:25anniversary of Fidel Castro.
00:27The aim is to raise people's voices against the U.S. government's imperialist policies
00:32toward Cuba, a policy that for over 60 years has hindered the development of the Cuban people.
00:38The gathering is also an opportunity for nations to strengthen their unity when hegemonic forces
00:44challenge national sovereignty and international law.
00:47The event includes an international symposium on trade union work, where the working class
00:53will delve deeper into its role in society.
00:56Thank you very much.
