The Canadian Peace Congress in collaboration with the Mouvement Québécois pour la Paix and the Canadian Network on Cuba are proud to announce that a Cuban delegation from the Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos (ICAP) (Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples) including Vice President Victor Gaute and North American Director Leima Martinez will tour Canada on a mission of peace and solidarity from June 4th to 16th, 2024.

Since January 1st, 1959, Cuba and the Cuban Revolution have been a critical force for peace in the Americas and, indeed, world wide. From its inception the Cuban Revolution stood proudly in the service of the oppressed and dispossessed. It stood and continues to stand against imperialist aggression, occupation and war. Imperialism is the greatest enemy of peace and mighty Cuba has resolutely stood as a fortress against all odds in the service of Peace.
