Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez held official talks on Monday with his Vietnamese counterpart, Le Hoai Trung, reaffirming the historic solidarity and cooperation between the two nations. Minister Rodríguez emphasized that the visit by his Vietnamese counterpart comes at a particularly complex time for Cuba, marked by the intensification of U.S. sanctions and their impact on the country’s development. He highlighted Vietnam as “a benchmark of its people’s heroic and extraordinary struggle for national independence and the construction of a much more beautiful homeland,” as well as an example of economic and social progress.

Ambassador Do Hung Viet, head of Vietnam's Permanent Mission to the United Nations, urged member states of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) to uphold the spirit of unity and to firmly raise their voices against the blockade and sanctions imposed on Cuba, in defense of the organization's founding principles. His remarks were delivered during the NAM meeting held on May 27 in New York, United States. The Vietnamese ambassador expressed Vietnam's deep solidarity with the challenges facing the Cuban people. He emphasized that unilateral coercive measures have exacerbated Cuba's economic and social difficulties amid increasing international pressure.
