Meet in Havana a Cuban Residents in 40 Countries
About 150 participants are expected from almost all countries in Europe, as well as Canada, Mexico and the United States. They will raise the issue of solidarity with the five Cuban heroes

Representatives of Cuban groups in more than 40 nations will participate this week in Havana in a conference of representatives living abroad who are opposed to the US blockade of Cuba and terrorism.

Carlos Zamora, director of Consular Affairs and Cuban residents abroad for the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Relations, said to the press that about 150 participants are expected from almost all countries in Europe, as well as Canada, Mexico and the United States.

He announced that exchanges will take place on issues such as the blockade, the Bush Plan and its anti-family measures, and solidarity with the five heroes.

The gathering will take place in the National Hotel of Cuba and will have work sessions, panel discussions and special presentations on topics of common interest.

The meeting will pay homage to the 30 years of the Antonio Maceo Brigade, a symbol of the movement of young Cubans in the US who have fought to defend and reunite with their homeland. Their struggle includes two victims: Carlos Muñiz Varela and Eulalio Negrín, murdered by the forces of anti-Cuban terrorism in Puerto Rico and New Jersey.

Other steps taken for the island over these years to strengthen relationships with the Cuban residents abroad have been the Nation and Emigration Conferences, whose third meeting was held in 2004.
