The Cuban Sports Institute (Inder) and the South African Embassy in Cuba today called for the Mandela and Fidel Race for World Peace, to be held on July 20.

According to the digital site Jit, this event that pays tribute to the main political figures of both nations will be run in the facilities of the capital's Sports City and will be a qualifier for the Marabana 2024.

The director of the National Commission of Marabana-Maracuba Races and Walks, Carlos Gattorno, told Inder's official media that the 10-kilometer circuit will start and finish at the Sports City.

The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs releases a congratulatory message on the occasion of today's 51st anniversary of the creation of the Community of Caribbean States (Caricom).

Published on X (formerly Twitter), accompanied by the hashtag #CaribeUnido, the text assures that the occasion is "propitious to reaffirm solidarity and maintain the spirit of unity and brotherhood of our Caribbean nations".

The President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, today reiterated his gratitude to the people and government of Cuba for sending doctors to this North American nation.

"We want to thank the people and the government of Cuba, because they are helping us by sending specialists that we do not have in our country," said the president during his usual press conference.

135 years ago, the first issue of the magazine for Latin American children The Golden Age, written by Cuban José Martí, saw the light of day, and its humanist essence remains valid today.

In 1889, during Martí's stay in New York to prepare for Cuba's War of Independence against Spanish colonialism, he managed to publish four issues of the magazine, with stories, essays and poetry.

The works contained in La Edad de Oro are recognized for their teachings to the youngest children, in texts that combine beauty, epochs and imagination, and show Martí's humanism and idealism.
