adminThe book will be presented simultaneously in Havana, Caracas, Quito, Buenos Aires, Luanda, Santo Domingo, La Paz, Mexico City, Bridgetown, San Juan, Kingston, Washington, Madrid and Berlin, at 14:00 hours, Cuba time (19:00 GMT).
Pertierra, who will participate in the book launch in Washington, told the website Cubadebate that the material, which resulted from the dialogue between Castro and intellectuals from the Americas, Africa and Europe in February, shows the concern of the participants about the world crisis.
The panel discussion will take place at Cuba’s Interest Office in the United States and will also include lawyer David Brooks, a journalist from the Mexican newspaper La Jornada James Early, from the US Smithsonian Museum and two professors, including an expert in cultural issues.
Pertierra said that this conversation among world intellectuals shows their great concern, as well as Castro’s, about the problems in the Middle East and Latin America.
“We have identified the problem, but we need to find a solution, and that solution can be found through conversation and dialogue, through dialectics,” he said.
For his part, Borón noted that the book launch in Buenos Aires will take place at the Cultural Centre of Cooperation and will also be attended by three other people who were present at Havana’s Conference Center: Stella Calloni, Vicente Battista and Juano Villafañe.
The February meeting was a marathon on the most important current issues, analysed in long hours of conversation by those who had the incredible fortune of having the participation of Castro, with his comments, observations and always inquisitive questions, he noted.
The two panels will be broadcast live on the Internet, on the Cuba channel in Washington and the Cuba channel in Buenos Aires, on Justin.tv. — Solvision.
