Havana, Oct. 20. - The President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, evoked today, via the social network X, the commemoration of Culture Day on the island.
"Our National Anthem, the one that moves us with its beauty and strength, was sung for the first time on a October 20. That patriotic event marks the moment we celebrate Cuban Culture Day," he wrote.
He also referenced the maxims that only culture will make men and women free and that it is the first thing that must be saved, for with it standing, intact and revered, the Homeland is saved, as expressed by the Cuban Apostle José Martí and Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz.
"Congratulations to those who make it possible and defend it," he added.
For his part, the island's Foreign Minister referred to the historical event that happened 157 years ago and noted that "today Cubans celebrate with the strength that defines and unites us anywhere: our rich mix full of music, joy, history, and traditions."
"Cuban culture is identity, history, resistance, pride, and the voice of our nation to the world." (Text and photo: PL)
