- Cuba marked the 100th anniversary of Fidel Castro's birth with state-sponsored exhibitions, concerts, and an international conference honoring his revolutionary legacy.
- Over 1,500 foreign activists and delegates from over 60 countries gathered in Havana as President Miguel Díaz-Canel framed Castro's ideals as a guide to address Cuba's current challenges.
- The centenary comes during one of the worst economic and political crises in modern Cuban history, marked by severe food and water shortages and power outages exceeding 20 hours a day.
- The economic collapse has been exacerbated by a tight U.S. oil embargo and hardened sanctions alongside long-standing domestic economic struggles.
- In response to the crisis, the Cuban government has approved a series of market-oriented economic reforms to open up private and foreign investment, contrasting with Castro's strict socialist model.
