Vietnam

Roberto Morales Ojeda, permanent member of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee, on May 7 extended greetings to the Vietnamese Party and people on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 7, 1954-2024).

In his message posted on a social network, the official highlighted the role of President Ho Chi Minh, the Communist Party of Vietnam, and the Vietnam People’s Army in the victory which resounded across the five continents and shook the world, and marked the defeat of the French colonialism.

On the occasion of the 171st anniversary of José Martí, Cubans and Vietnamese joined together today in the central park-garden Tao Dan, in Hanoi, to pay tribute to Cuban heroe, “an extraordinary politician, ideologist and man of culture of Latin America”.

These are the words that define the National Hero of Cuba on the plaque placed on the bust that perpetuates his memory here, and where the ambassador of Cuba, Orlando Hernandez, recalled the most relevant aspects of the revolutionary trajectory of the pro-independence hero.

The Vietnam - Cuba Friendship Association's chapter in Ho Chi Minh City (VCFA HCMC) will continue to promote people-to-people diplomacy activities to increase understanding between the people of Vietnam and Cuba as well as between Ho Chi Minh City and Cuban localities in particular, contributing to further intensifying the special relations between the two countries. This orientation was approved at the 3rd congress of the association for the 2023-2028 tenure held in Ho Chi Minh City on December 28.

A donation of 1,200 tons of rice from the Communist Party, the State, and the people of Ho Chi Minh City is ready at the Cat Lai port on Wednesday to be shipped to Cuba.

We are delighted to express that this donation keeps alive that feeling and solidarity that are unique, as the unusual ties and brotherhood existing between our two countries, Ariadne Feo Labrada, Consul General of Cuba in Ho Chi Minh City, said.
