Havana, Jan 24 (RHC) With José Martí's thought "With all and for the good of all" as motivation, the Fifth International Conference for a Balanced World began this Tuesday in Havana, with representatives of some 80 nations.

 

The event will be held at the Convention Palace until next Saturday and is the closing of the World Day of Homage for the 170th anniversary of the birth of Cuba's National Hero, José Martí.

 

The meeting is convened by the José Martí Project of International Solidarity, with the support of numerous Cuban and global institutions such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

 

According to its organizers, with the participation of more than a thousand intellectuals, scientists, politicians, and trade unionists, it seeks to promote the broadest space for debate on the problems facing the planet, with a plural and multidisciplinary approach in the promotion of joint solutions.

 

The program includes keynote lectures, the youth forum "With all and for the good of all", a colloquium of historians, a congress on the new international order, and an intergovernmental panel to address climate change.

 

In recent statements to the media, Eduardo Torres Cuevas, president of the Organizing Committee and director of the Martiano Program Office, pointed out that the event will ratify the validity of the anti-imperialist thought of the Cuban hero.

 

He recalled that Martí "saw the birth of the empire, but he also saw the problems of the peoples of the Third World, particularly those of Latin America, and above all, he understood that in Cuba's independence lay the balance of the world", hence the name of the conference.
