He urged the development of a concrete plan of action to mobilize support with greater force than ever before, effectively coordinating every individual initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The Cuban hero reiterated his gratitude to the Conference and concluded his remarks by affirming: \u201cWith the backing of the international solidarity movement and the infinite resilience of the Cuban people, we will prevail\u2014for we possess truth, history, and dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The forum concluded on Sunday with remarks \u2014 delivered either virtually or in person \u2014 by activists; members of social and political organizations; representatives of Cuba solidarity networks in the United States, Canada, and Quebec; and individuals who personally support Cuba\u2019s right to self-determination. They were joined by representatives from the Cuban diplomatic corps, ICAP, the FMC (Federation of Cuban Women), the National Union of Jurists, and Cubapetr\u00f3leo.<\/p>\n<p>Convened by the Coalition of the International Conference for the Normalization of U.S.-Cuba Relations, these meetings began in 2017 with a broad base of participation, in rejection of the hostility and the blockade against Cuba, as well as its inclusion on the list of state sponsors of terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>IMAGE CREDIT: Iliana Garcia Giraldino | Photo: Facebook CMKX Radio Bayamo<br \/>\n[ SOURCE: AGENCIA CUBANA DE NOTICIAS ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guantanamo.- Reinforcing the condemnation of the blockade, the energy siege, and the hostility of the United States against Cuba was the call issued by Fernando Gonz\u00e1lez Llort, President of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), as he expressed his gratitude on Sunday \u2014 via a virtual message \u2013for the support provided by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cuba","category-internacionales"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15511"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15513,"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15511\/revisions\/15513"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
