Experts Ligia Machado and Josué de Quesada will also attend the event. They will present other facets of the illustrious intellectual.

To commemorate Marti’s life and work, a historical site will be inaugurated at the Cuban Embassy in Bogotá on May 19, the date of the death of the Cuban independence fighter in 1895.
