“We exchanged views on the existing potential to further expand economic-commercial and cooperation ties, as well as cultural and friendship bonds between our peoples,” the Cuban diplomat reported on his X social media account.

In another message, he explained that the *Fiesta de los Pueblos* hosted a panel denouncing the suffering and severe consequences of the current US administration’s deliberate policy against Cuba—a policy that constitutes an act of genocide and collective punishment against the people.

“We pointed out that the US government’s actions disregard international law and seek to replace the current international order with a system based on the law of the strongest and the plundering of peoples’ natural resources,” Cepero emphasized.

The festival is dedicated to the coming together of the various cultural communities present in the province of the same name, located in Italy’s Calabria region.

Topics addressed included the situation of unaccompanied foreign minors and mechanisms for support and social integration.

The event features the participation and support of associations and communities based in Catanzaro, whose historic center is currently serving as a space for cultural exchange.
