CUBA

The Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba in the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, David Rivero Pérez, held a working meeting with the Senior Foreign Service Officer Mr. Michael Penny, Director of Legal and Security Affairs of the Foreign Ministry in Basseterre, who is temporarily replacing the Permanent Secretary of this Ministry. During the cordial meeting, issues of common interest were addressed, while the Ambassador offered an update on the effects of the economic, commercial and financial blockade that the United States has imposed on Cuba for the last 62 years. It is a deliberate act of economic warfare, which has been reinforced by the arbitrary inclusion of the Antillean nation on the State Department's unilateral list of alleged countries sponsoring terrorism.

We gather to defend, today more than ever, the brother Venezuelan people from the tentacles of fascism and raise our voices to reject the interference, manipulation and imperialist, colonialist and coup intentions to seize our legitimate rights and resources, and which have caused so much harm to our peoples. Defending Venezuela is to defend the dream of union and brotherhood of our heroes and peoples.

A friendship exchange was held in Hai Duong city in the northern province of the same name to celebrate the 71th anniversary of the Attack on Moncada Barracks (July 26, 1953 - 2024). The event was organised by the the Cuban Embassy in Vietnam, the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO) and the Hai Duong provincial People's Committee.

At the event, participants reviewed the attack and its historical significance. The attack by young Cuban patriots led by Fidel Castro, the great leader of Cuba, opened up a new stage of development in the Cuban revolution. It brought the just struggle of the Cuban people to victory on January 1, 1959, marking a milestone in the country’s history.

A delegation of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) led by Deputy General Director Nguyen Tuan Hung visited Cuba from July 28 to August 3 to further enhance the traditional friendship and cooperation with large press agencies of the Caribbean nation. Visiting the headquarters and many establishments of Prensa Latina (Latin American News Agency) in Havana, Hung highlighted the two news agencies’ practical cooperation results over the past more than 60 years of their countries’ close-knit fraternity.

They are implementing the cooperation agreement for 2023 - 2028 through various activities, including sharing daily news in different languages such as English, French, and Spanish and exchanging language editors.
