The speech of the Cuban Ambassador Tania Aguiar Fernández showed some of the greatest achievements reached during these 61 years of revolution and its importance and impact for Cubans and friend peoples which the Cuban solidarity has been shared with.
The Ambassador stressed: "61 years of revolution is easy to say. It is a story of 6 decades of resistance, but also development: Cuba remains as an international reference of what can be achieved in terms of health and education."
By referring to the relations between Cuba and Egypt, she highlighted the historic relations between both countries: "We can not stop remembering in these moments of celebration the figure of Fidel Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution, who professed an endearing friendship with the Egyptian people.
