Delegations
from 91 communist parties, representing 73 countries, took part in the 20th
international meeting of communist and workers’ parties that was held in Greece
last weekend. NCP leader Andy Brooks together with Peter Hendy from the Central
Committee, took part in the congress at the headquarters of the Communist Party
of Greece (KKE) where the first conference began in 1998.
The theme of the meeting was the task of
the working class and its political vanguard in the struggle against
exploitation and imperialist wars.
The conference, opened by KKE leader
Dimitris Koutsoumbas, heard contributions from delegations from all five
continents including those from comrades from the ruling parties of China,
Cuba, Democratic Korea, Laos and Vietnam,
At the close of the three-day meeting the
100th anniversary of the foundation of the Communist Party of Greece was
commemorated at a magnificent political and cultural event held on Sunday
afternoon at the Stadium of Peace and Friendship in Piraeus, the port of
Athens.
Delegates, along with thousands of Greek
communists, packed the stadium for a cultural programme performed by prominent
Greek artistes to honour the foundation and the glorious activity of a historic
and unique Party and the thousands of communists who sacrificed their lives in
the struggle.
