CUBA

Deputy General Director of Radio The Voice of Vietnam (VOV) Pham Manh Hung and President of the Cuban Institute of Information and Social Communication (ICS) Alfonso Noya Martínez signed a new bilateral cooperation agreement, as part of the Vietnamese official's working trip to Cuba from September 4-7.

At their earlier talks, the two officials affirmed the importance of enhancing cooperation in the free-of-charge exchange of news, information, digital content, and radio and television programmes relating to culture, history, music and tourism. It is set to broaden and deepen the mutual understanding, friendship, and knowledge between the people of Vietnam and Cuba.

The Granma daily, the newspaper of the Communist Party of Cuba, recently published an article on great contributions of President Ho Chi Minh to the national liberation cause of Vietnam and the world, on the occasion of 55th anniversary of his testament (September 2, 1969-2024).

The article “Ho Chi Minh with an open heart” started with quotations from a poem by Cuban great poet Nicolas Guillen (1902-1989) about President Ho Chi Minh, describing the Vietnamese leader as a man with an open heart.

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.
