The Head of State of the Kingdom of Bhutan, King Jigme Khesar, conveyed a warm message of congratulations, on behalf of his people and government, to the President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, on the occasion of our National Day, the 65th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.
The King also highlighted the traditional ties of friendship, goodwill and mutual understanding between the two countries and wished the Cuban people prosperity, peace and progress.
Cuba and the Kingdom of Bhutan established official diplomatic relations on September 26, 2011. The visit to Cuba in 1979 of then King Jigme Singye Wangchuck and his meeting with the historic leader of our Revolution, Fidel Castro, was a fundamental moment in the promotion of bilateral ties.
