Havana, Nov 18 (Prensa Latina) The 4th Conference on the Nation and Emigration opened at Havana's International Conference Center on Saturday, with the presence of more than 400 Cuban residents abroad.

According to the call, those attending this event, which will end on Sunday, November 19, will debate about Cuba’s ties with its overseas compatriots and the prospects of that relationship.

Migration issues and others related to culture and identity, as well as economic development and investments with the participation of Cubans in the socioeconomic processes that is taking place in the country will also be addressed at the meeting.

The general director of Consular Affairs and Cuban Residents Abroad at Cuba’s Foreign Ministry (DACCRE), Ernesto Soberón, said recently that the Conference has the peculiarity that after its end, participants will be able to socialize their results with those who could not participate.

He pointed out that 4th Conference is an opportunity to share the experiences of Cuban who live in several countries, how their participation has been in the main battles that our country is waging, and their fight against the United States blockade.

“We will talk about pending issues, the concerns they may have regarding immigration policy and politics in general,” the diplomat said on the Mesa Redonda television program.

The 4th Conference on the Nation and Emigration coincides with the 45th anniversary of the first of these meetings, which took place in 1978, and with the 2nd “Cuba va Conmigo” (Cuba Goes with Me) Cultural Festival, which was held recently with the participation of dozens of Cuban artists and intellectuals who reside overseas.
