Havana and Tehran reestablished ties on August 8, 1979 and favored mutually beneficial cooperation in areas such as biotechnology and health.

On December 2, 1960, in a public act, the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, declared the people’s decision to officially establish ties with Vietnam.

In commemorating six decades since the event, Cuba’s Prime Minister Manuel Marrero called for growing cooperation in sectors with potential such as transportation, telecommunications, biotechnology, education, energy and agricultural business.
