Santa Clara, Cuba, Feb 17 (acn) The publication Solidarity with Cuba in Canada, edited by Nino Pagliccia, activist for friendship between the two peoples, will be presented today at the 24 th International Book Fair, based in Havana.
The author told ACN that the work, concerning the five decades of relations from people to people, collects the bonds of friendship that emerged after 1960 among citizens of both countries and will be made available to readers in San Carlos de La Cabaña Fortress.
He added there are ties consolidated in various manifestations, including the visits of groups and brigades of solidarity with Cuba.
Pagliccia referred to his initial idea, given the need to record the experiences of people that could provide their vision on the reality of a country that maintains its dignity and unwavering stance for over five decades of cruel economic, commercial and financial blockade by the United States.
One chapter refers to the presence of Che Guevara Brigade, which annually and for 23 years visits to Cuba, where they perform volunteer work in agricultural plans, construction works, sanitation activities and maintain contact with workers, peasants, intellectuals and students.
He noted that for 12 years, as main coordinator of the brigade, he was able to confirm the extraordinary importance of contact for citizens of both peoples, among whom a special sympathy and understanding of the value of friendship emerged.
He also referred to the reason that assists Cubans in their struggle for all these years of revolution for the defense of their conquests.
The text incorporates the experiences of Lisa Makarchua, a Canadian translator who worked on Cuba, and talks about the initial links between the two peoples, along with the chapter by Professor Keith Ellie, who wrote about the teachings of José Martí in the field of solidarity and the example of Cuba with its help to the brotherly people of Haiti.
