The October edition of The Havana Reporter features president Miguel Díaz-Canel’s visit to Vietnam, China and Laos and the results of the collaboration ties with those Asian nations.
National topics include debates on the new Labor Code; presentation to the diplomatic corps and the press of the report Cuba will submit to the United Nations General Assembly in November in relation to the damages caused by the United States blockade in the last year, more than 60 years after its imposition.
The present issue also features articles on the Havana’s Fidel Castro Center and the worship paid to Cuba’s Patron Saint, Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, in addition to a tribute to Prensa Latina journalist Ángel Boan, who passed away in 1963 in an accident in Algeria when working as a correspondent for that news agency.
Cultural topics include the successful celebrations of Acosta Dance’s 10th anniversary and the holding of the Varadero Josone Festival, in addition to the eight edition of the “Ella y yo” Festival, which gathered Latin American and Cuban artists in a kind of an ode to social song and which was dedicated, on this occasion, to late musicians Marta Valdés and Eduardo Sosa, outstanding exponents of the Cuban singer and songwriting movement.
