On the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO), the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba sends you the most sincere congratulations.
The relations between our parties were forged with the sacrifice of thousands of African and Cuban heroes and martyrs who fought to preserve Angolan independence; to contribute to achieve Namibia's independence, with the implementation of UN Resolution 435 and, together with FAPLA, SWAPO, ANC and Cuban fighters, to defeat the segregationist and racist apartheid system in South Africa.
On this special occasion, our fraternal greeting to the historical leader and founding father of SWAPO and of the Namibian nation, comrade Sam Nujoma, endearing and faithful friend of Fidel, Raúl and the Revolution, defender with his government, of permanent solidarity with the Cuban people, in their fight against the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States.
In these years, more than 4,300 Cuban cooperators, in various sectors, have served in Namibia and nearly 1,350 young Namibians have studied or are studying in Cuba, being an example of friendship and cooperation between our peoples.
We reaffirm the solidarity and commitment to continue to deepen relations between our two parties and peoples.
Fraternally,
