Welcome to Yexenia
For many
Australians, Cuba is still a mystery. This has been made worse by the
long-running stranglehold on information about Cuba by the United
States. The North American Government has enforced a strict embargo
on all forms of trade and communications with Cuba. Cuba has suffered
embargoes and military adventures from the USA from well before 1847. So, what’s new? Obama has promised the USA that he will continue to enforce the illegal embargo and blockade.
Fortunately,
Cuba has sent Yexenia
Calzado, one of the Island’s most prominent officials, to visit
Australia and to discuss Cuba’s present predicament and plans for
the future with all and sundry.
Yexenia Calzado |
A public meeting to meet Yexenia has been arranged for Friday 8 April in the Belconnen Labour
Club. The meeting will start at 7.00pm. She will talk on
International relations and will be happy to answer all questions.
In Cuba,
Yexenia is an officer of ICAP, the Instituto Cubano de Amistad con
los Pueblos, a department responsible for fostering goodwill
among ordinary people throughout the world. However, she concentrates
on forming close relations within the Asia-Pacific region. She is an
outstanding speaker on the role of Cuba and an outspoken opponent of
censorship.
Australians
will be able to hear how Cuba has achieved such international
prestige as a provider of international health and education services
that Australia is hoping to achieve sometime in the distant future.
Visitors
will be able to enjoy an excellent (and inexpensive) dinner in the
Belconnen Labor Club, before or after the meeting.
Meet Yexenia at 7.00pm on Friday 8 April in the Belconnen Labour
Club
