Cuba Solidarity Event in
Ecuador
The 13th National
Assembly of the
Ecuadorian Solidarity
Coordinating Committee
with Cuba starts
Saturday in the city of
Guayaquil, attended by
nearly 500 delegates
from several provinces
of this country.
Vinicio Rojas, member of
the organizing
committee, stated that
everything is ready for
the opening session of
this important meeting,
which will define
actions for the
2008-2010 period to
strengthen friendship
with the Cuban people.
Rojas highlighted the
friendship group's labor
with the island from the
province of Guayas,
capital of Guayaquil.
The event will honor
Commander Ernesto Che
Guevara on occasion of
the 80th anniversary of
his birth, for his
tireless struggle for
the freedom of oppressed
peoples.
Also included is to
recall Sergio Correri,
late president of the
Cuban Institute of
Solidarity with the
Peoples, and the 166th
anniversary of the birth
of General Eloy Alfaro,
a friend of Cuba, he
said.
Among other points is to
request the release of
five Cuban
anti-imperialist
fighters unfairly
imprisoned in US jails,
reject the US Court of
Appeals in Atlanta's
last decision, condemn
once more the White
House policy, demand the
end of the economic and
financial blockade
imposed by United States
against the island, and
elect the new leadership
of the National
Solidarity Coordinator,
Rojas concluded.
Cuban ambassador to this
nation Benigno Perez,
national and provincial
authorities, as well as
representatives of
Ecuadorian politics and
culture are to attend
the meeting. |
