The scientists Hector Hernandez and Eduardo Torres, who are members of the organizing committee, explained that a youth forum, some workshops, and a conference will be dedicated to debating Marti on his 172nd birthday and the 130th anniversary of his death in combat.
We had to talk about peace, unity, solidarity, and other controversial issues, so we chose Jose Marti, the first to write and offer a dialogue on those issues,” Eduardo Torres affirmed.
“His ideas were not just for Cuba, he was a universal thinker whose ideas are still valid at present,” he continued.
The Jose Marti Project for World Solidarity organized the meeting at the Havana-based Conference Center from January 28 to 31.
More than 1,000 delegates from 93 countries have been confirmed to attend this 6th International Conference for the World’s Balance, With All and For the Good of All, “Dialogue of Civilizations and A Culture of Peace.”
