Luanda - The president of the Angolan League of Friendship and Solidarity with the Peoples (LAASP) Elisa Salvador praised in the Cuban capital, Havana, the American country’s contribution to the preservation of Angola's independence.
The official was speaking at the V International Conference for the World's Balance, an event that ends today (Saturday) in the Cuban capital.
Cited by a LAASP press release, Elisa Salvador underlined the fact that Angolans and Cubans are linked by deep historical ties since the beginning of Angola's independence.
To the leader of LAASP, this link is reflected in the relationship of friendship and solidarity between LAASP and the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP).
She recalled that the relationship between the two institutions predates the formal signature of cooperation between LAASP and ICAP.
"The relationship was already sealed in the different exchanges and assistance between the two institutions", expressed the LAASP's president.
She highlighted LAASP's participation in different events and solidarity actions with Cuba.
In her speech, the leader slammed and considered the economic blockade against Cuba to be inhumane.
The four-day event gathers representatives from around 80 nations, guided by José Martí's thought "With all and for the wellbeing of all".
This year the event marks the 170th anniversary of the birth of José Martí, which is celebrated today, January 28th.
