International brigades of solidarity and volunteer work will parade alongside Cubans on International Workers' Day, Prensa Latina reported.

The groups are the First of May and Ernesto Che Guevara brigades. Their members will be present at Havana's Revolution Square, where a mass parade will occur, the first such event after more than two years of fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sources from the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) said that the brigades would comprise some 180 members from 15 countries, although the numbers may increase.

These activists will join the International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, which will take place from April 30 to May 2, with activities in workplaces, communities, and sessions at Havana's International Conference Center.

Participants from the United States, Brazil, United Kingdom, South Africa, Germany, Ireland, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Spain, Mexico, Sweden, Turkey, Vietnam, and Canada have confirmed their participation.
