Havana will host the 39th General Assembly of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) beginning Tuesday. The organization, of which Cuba is a member country, groups radio and TV entities in the Caribbean region.
The CBU is a non-governmental organization based in Barbados which supports and promotes high quality work of radio and TV private or public entities.
The Havana meeting will focus on common interests of all 23 CBU member countries, including the need for personnel training and entity performance. Participants will also assess the treatment given by TV and radio stations to subjects such as HIV AIDS and the ongoing campaign against the disease.
The Cuban Radio and Television Institute (ICRT), as the host to the event, has organized a program, which includes a visit by participants to the Cuban HIV-AIDS National Prevention Center, a Havana neighborhood where they will exchange with community members, and a gala in the recently refurbished Bertolt Brecht Theater.
The CBU General Assembly will hold working sessions until next Saturday at the Havana-based Melia Cohiba Hotel.
Many countries with the CBU are also members of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS), while 18 of them are part of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
