To dialogue on the current role of Cuba in Latin America and the possible cooperation between the European Union and Latin America to collaborate with the Cuban people in an eventual transition process toward democracy in the Caribbean country, members of the Comité Internacional para la Democracia en Cuba visited the Universidad Francisco Marroquín and had a meeting with a group of journalists specialized in politics and international news.  The group also met and talked with professors of the University. The meeting with the journalists was last September 20th, and with the faculty last September 21st.

In this trip, the delegation will also visit Colombia and El Salvador; the delegation is integrated by:
