The First International Colloquium “Fidel: Legacy and Future” is underway in Havana, bringing together around 1,500 participants from across the world in the run-up to the centenary of the birth of Fidel Castro Ruz on August 13.
The four-day gathering, held from August 10 to 13 at Havana’s Convention Palace, is devoted not simply to commemorating the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, but to examining the continuing relevance of his revolutionary thought and action in the struggles against imperialism, exploitation and capitalist barbarism.
