First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee and President of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel and General Raúl Castro on February 3 lauded the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)’s leadership since its establishment in 1930. The leaders extended their congratulations to Party General Secretary To Lam on the occasion of the 95th founding anniversary of the CPV (February 3). 

In their congratulatory messages, the Cuban leaders underscored that the CPV, together with its noble citizenry, has been the primary architect of all triumphs obtained by the heroic Vietnamese nation.

The friendship between Việt Nam and Cuba is very special, built on a foundation of solidarity, cooperation and mutual trust in all areas. The Việt Nam-Cuba Friendship Year 2025 will be an opportunity to honour this unique historical legacy between the two peoples, according to newly-appointed Cuban Ambassador to Việt Nam Rogelio Polanco Fuentes.

In an interview with the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) on the occasion of New Year 2025, Polanco Fuentes said that the two nations' friendship is built on a history of close ties throughout their struggles against colonialism and imperialism and the process of building socialism. After the historic visit to Cuba in September 2024 by Party General Secretary and then-State President Tô Lâm, bilateral relations developed to a new, comprehensive level.
