He noted that practice requires a thorough consideration of Marxist and socialist experiences of different countries in search for essential theoretical progress and called for it even more strongly in the context of the international financial crisis, insisting on the usefulness of this selection. Dr. Song Xiaoping, who spoke on behalf of the translators of the work, by Professor Salomón Susi Sarfati, said he believed that through its great vitality, the ideology of the Cuban Revolution leader will be widely read. For his part, the charge d'affaires at the Embassy of Cuba, Mario Alzugaray, said the text has a special significance both for its content and the historical moment of its publication, referring to the events associated with the start of diplomatic relations between the two countries, September 28, 1960. He explained that the 293-page book offers the opportunity of finding, in a summary and ordered form, the main aspects and themes of the thoughts of Fidel Castro, recalling that his ideas remain absolutely valid. As we know, the leader of the Cuban Revolution remains active, writing his Reflections and maintaining awareness of the problems facing humanity and life on planet Earth, he added.
