Cuba present at the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Victory over Fascism in Lebanon

Ambassador Jorge P. Leon Cruz participated in the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Victory over fascism during the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, organised by the Russian Embassy in Beirut.

At the moving ceremony, where Russian Ambassador Alexander Ruvaok gave the keynote address, tribute was paid to the more than 27 million Soviet soldiers who gave their lives in a struggle that represented not only a national tragedy and a heroic triumph for the peoples of the former Soviet Union but also a decisive contribution to the salvation of mankind from fascism.

Authorities, leaders of political and social organisations, personalities of the country and members of the accredited diplomatic corps were present.
