Vientiane, July 26, 2025. The Cuban Embassy held the traditional and important meeting with friends of Laos to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the heroic feat of the Assault on the Moncada Barracks, the National Rebellion Day. The diplomatic mission was privileged to be attended by the Vice President of Parliament and President of the Laos-Cuba Friendship Association and Parliamentary Friendship Group, Dr. Chaleune Yiapaohoeu, along with an enthusiastic representation of its members, officials from the Foreign Relations Commission of the Central Committee of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and representatives of Cuba's collaboration in Lao PDR.
The commemoration began with a documentary allegorical to the date, which keeps history alive and validates the dimension of the historical leader and Commander in Chief Fidel Castro and the assertion of essential action as the driving force of the Cuban Revolution.
Ambassador Enna Viant Valdés, for her part, expressed her gratitude for the congratulatory message sent to Mr. Fernando González, president of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, by Dr. Chaleune Yiapaoheu, in which he reaffirmed his support for the just struggle of the people of Cuba and his unwavering and firm backing for the battles Cuba is waging on the path to building sustainable socialism, particularly the one carried out for the elimination of the unjust and illegal United States blockade against Cuba, amidst a multidimensional war from which Cuba will once again emerge victorious.
