Havana, January 12 (Prensa Latina) The International Congress “60 Years After the Tricontinental: Context, Impact, Legacy and Future” began today in the Cuban capital with the participation of more than 200 academics representing 27 countries.
The event, which will be hosted by the University of Havana (UH) for three days, includes 43 planned conferences and discussions, in which topics related to anti-imperialism, South-South solidarity, and the emergence of movements such as the Non-Aligned Movement will be debated.
“From the Aula Magna of the University of Havana, which has witnessed numerous events, we condemn the aggression of the US government against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, as well as the kidnapping of its legitimate president, Nicolás Maduro. These acts also constitute an aggression against Latin America and a threat to our zone of peace,” said the university’s rector, Miriam Nicado, at the opening of the event.
According to statements from the organizers, this twentieth edition commemorates the event held in Havana six decades ago.
The Tricontinental Conference, held in January 1966, brought together more than 500 delegates from 80 countries and colonies of the Third World, now called the Global South, as a response from the peoples of Africa, Asia and America to colonialism and imperialism.
