00:00and the concept of persistence, and the concept of building

00:04the future, a great international youth

00:10and students anti-fascist movement,

00:15and for the new world to be built.

00:23Yes, a new world that should integrate diversity of ideas,

00:28the dreams of humanity.

00:31Fidel Castro said to Commander Hugo Chavez 30 years ago,

00:42on December 14, 1994, and I remember that

00:49because ALBA was founded 20 years ago,

00:54and the first time these two leaders held each other,

00:59embraced each other, it was back then,

01:05an anniversary that we will celebrate soon.

01:08And Commander Fidel Castro said in Havana University,

01:14in the Great Hall, the Magna Hall, he said,

01:25he invited Chavez to speak to professors.

01:30Chavez, who had just turned 40, he

01:36had turned 40 in Bogota, in Colombia.

01:39When he exited jail, he went to celebrate his freedom

01:44in Colombia.

01:48We say hello to President Gustavo Petro

01:51and to everyone in Colombia, the whole people of Colombia.

01:56So 30 years ago, Chavez celebrated his birthday

02:02in Colombia.

02:04And Petro was present there.

02:05He was very young.

02:09And then on December, he traveled to Havana,

02:16invited by the research Simon Bolivar Institution.

02:20Fidel invited him to speak at the Magna

02:24Hall of the university.

02:29He was wearing his uniform, his green uniform.

02:35When we walk the streets of Venezuela,

02:38remember, Celia?

02:43And Chavez spoke with the way he saw the future.

02:57And after Chavez exposed his idea of the future,

03:00Fidel Castro said, I'm impressed by your words, Chavez.

03:08They were getting to know each other physically

03:10on that occasion.

03:11And he said to Chavez, it was 1994.

03:21The social bloc, the Soviet republics had collapsed.

03:33And there was a unipolar world.

03:38In Washington, they were drunken with power

03:42because they had no opposition in the world.

03:48It happens sometimes.

03:56They sometimes believe they are the owners of the world.

04:01And Fidel Castro said, a living legend of world revolution

04:09said to Chavez, all of those beautiful ideas

04:15that you have about the future of humanity,

04:18I agree with that.

04:23We in Cuba, we call it socialism.

04:31But if you call that Christianism, I would agree.

04:37And if you call it Bolivarianism,

04:43I agree, because that's the future of humanity.

04:46And you can name it whichever way

04:48you want regarding taking into account your spirituality

04:53and way of life.

05:01We should gather, like the Chinese president Xi Jinping

05:08said, we need to build a humanity of a shared destiny,

05:16or how President Putin says, a new world

05:21without any hegemonies, nor empires, nor wars.

05:30Or as Chavez said back in 1994 when he was 40,

05:40our beloved Commander Chavez, when he said in Venezuela,

05:46and he said in Havana 30 years ago,

05:53he said, Fidel, the 21st century would be our century,

06:02would be the century of the peoples.

06:06So this is our century.

06:08And no one will take the 21st century,

06:13which we have conquered with a lot of effort from us.

06:19So congratulations, because today in Venezuela,

06:23a great youth student anti-fascist movement

06:27has been born for the new world.

06:29Congratulations.
