The Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) passes its revolutionary greetings to the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) on its 8th Party Congress taking place between 16th and 19th April 2021 in Havana.
The Communist Party of Cuba continues to be a great inspiration and a shining light to the whole progressive world in the struggle for socialism and internationalism. Under the great and visionary leadership of the Party, and even under unimaginable challenges that have arisen out of the US blockade on Cuba, Cuba has managed to show the world that it is possible to resist imperialism and still uplift millions of people out of poverty, hunger, illiteracy, lack of healthcare, homelessness, inequality among other human rights that are denied to the majority of people in rich capitalist countries.
The CPK continues to be inspired by the PCC and will tirelessly express its solidarity with the Cuban socialist revolution, and will not relent in its unequivocal demand that the US blockade must be brought to an end, and that the United States must return Guantanamo Bay to Cuba, its rightful owner.
The CPK also congratulates Cuba on her 60th anniversary of the military victory against the United States of America during the latter’s invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. It was during this war where the US troops and mercenaries received the most resounding defeat (after the Korean War) at the hands of the Cuban revolutionary army and peasants under the leadership of Comandante Fidel Castro Ruz.
The victory over the US imperialist forces in 1961 confirmed that the young Cuban revolution had the ability to effectively defend the gains of the socialist revolution.
We wish the outgoing First Secretary of PCC comrade Raul Castro, and we also wish comrade President Miguel Diaz-Canel the very best as they lead the deliberations at the 8th Party Congress.
Long live the Communist Party of Cuba!
Long live Fidel Castro!
Long Live Raul Castro!
Long live the leadership of the PCC!
Long live the Socialist Revolution of Cuba!
Benedict Wachira
Secretary General
Communist Party of Kenya
