WINDHOEK, Republic of Namibia. — We are proud of the work Cuban collaborators do around the world. Knowing that the new generations are represented among them is comforting and encouraging, said Meyvis Estévez Echevarría, First Secretary of the National Committee of the Union of Young Communists (UJC), to a group of Cubans serving in this sister nation.
With them: engineers and architects who make up the Brigade of the Union of Caribbean Construction Companies (Uneca) and accompanied by Sergio Vigoa de la Uz, ambassador of the Greater Antilles here, shared the afternoon of this Tuesday, after attending the 21st General Assembly of the World Federation of Democratic Youth, which met for five days in this city.
The youth leader expressed concern for the living and working conditions of the internationalists and updated them on the strategy of the UJC, youth movements, and student organizations to strengthen their integral role in the present and future of the nation, especially through constant exchanges with the grassroots and encounters with history.
She also spoke about the actions being carried out in Cuba to overcome "the complexities of these times," marked by the blockade imposed by the United States and the inclusion of Cuba on the spurious list of supposed state sponsors of terrorism. "We are not sitting idly by, and the country's top leadership is constantly seeking solutions to overcome these difficulties, and we, the youth, are counting on the contribution of them".
To them, as well as to a group of collaborators from the medical brigade—with whom he had exchanged words a few days earlier—he assured them that it was a tremendous opportunity to fulfill a mission in a country like this "because of how much we love our homeland," a friendship born "on the battlefields where Cubans and Africans shed their blood for dignity".
Then he heard members of UNECA speak with satisfaction about how many buildings in this country bear the seal of Cuba, or doctors express how much patients admire their work, how young Namibians trained at the Latin American School of Medicine hold responsibilities in this nation, or how they see the strong relationships they have with local professionals in healthcare centers.
"We wish you much success in continuing to strengthen the ties that unite us with Namibia. Continue cultivating that relationship you have with our leaders: Fidel Castro Ruz and Sam Nujoma, a very solid foundation. Always count on our organization to sow hope and love, to continue elevating our homeland", said Estévez Echevarría.
