Latin American Students Congress Up and Running

Havana, Nov 13 (acn) The 15h Latin American and Caribbean Congress of 
Students (CLAE) opened its doors to young people from 13 countries, 
including the US and guests from Asia and Africa.

Education is one of the top issues on the congress' agenda. It was the 
first topic of analysis for participants, who agreed that education is 
vital for Latin American countries to achieve full independence, 
reported Juventud Rebelde newspaper.

More than 3,000 young people, including secondary and university 
students will explore actions in favor of Latin American unity, the 
future of Socialism and fight against imperialism and minority rights.

Sebastian Cevallos, the president of the Ecuadorian University Students 
Federation, welcomed delegates at the Ecuadorian Cultural Institution, 
where the opening gala took place.

At the opening gala, the Latin American and Caribbean Continental 
Student Organization (OCLAE) received the commemorative seal for the 
85th anniversary of the Cuban University Students Federation (FEU).

Before presenting the certificate to OCLAE President Luis Arza, FEU 
President Carlos Lage Codorniu, said the continental organization is 
unique, aimed at fighting imperialism, since its inception.

Meanwhile, students said OCLAE should increase its actions to mobilize 
forces in favor of the peoples of the region and rise to the new times.

The Latin American and Caribbean Congress runs until Saturday, November 
17 in Quito, Ecuador.
