LISBON, Portugal—Representatives of 45 anti-imperialist youth organizations in 35 countries gathered here February 1-3 for a general council meeting of the World Federation of Democratic Youth. Of the 69 delegates, the largest number came from youth organizations affiliated to Communist Parties in Europe, with smaller participation from youth groups in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The meeting adopted a political statement and a plan of action for 2008, and accepted an offer from the Belarusian Republican Youth Union to host the 17th World Festival of Youth and Students in Minsk in the summer of 2009.
