Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, is attending today the Decoration Ceremony for federation members on the 66th anniversary of the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC). The ceremony pays tribute to the legacy of Vilma Espín and the Centennial of the birth of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz.

The Cuban president will bestow the Honorary Title of Heroine of Labor of the Republic upon women in recognition of their extraordinary revolutionary and labor trajectories, with more than five decades of dedication to the organization and to the country. He is accompanied by Politburo members Esteban Lazo Hernández, president of the National Assembly of People's Power; Roberto Morales Ojeda, Organization Secretary; and Teresa Amarelle Boué, FMC General Secretary, along with other Politburo members, representatives of the Party, the Government, and social and mass organizations.

The commemoration, which evokes the figure of the eternal President of the FMC, highlights the organization's role as a fundamental pillar in Cuban society and reaffirms the call to continue building the Revolution with the firmness and love bequeathed by Fidel and Vilma.
