STATEMENTS BY JAIME ABELLO, DIRECTOR OF THE GABO FOUNDATION: It is a work to start with the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the death of Gabriel García Márquez to start the preparations for a great centenary. This idea of the Foundation was received with great enthusiasm by the Ministry of Cultures, Arte y Saberes de Colombia and we created a framework agreement. There are some agreed activities, but above all it is called to make a more global, more international proposal, hand in hand with the CAF Development Bank of Latin America, which is also putting its shoulder to the wheel because we want a centennial of great transcendence.
