Likewise, the note recalled leaders of the two countries promised to move forward on the road to victory in the construction of socialism.

The summit allowed to continue and develop the fraternal and traditional relations of friendship and to firmly consolidate the fighting solidarity between the two parties and peoples struggling for a common cause, it added.

On the other hand, it was recalled that thanks to the efforts of the historical leaders of both nations, active cooperation was carried out in all fields of politics, economy and culture, and joint action was taken on the international scene.

Ties of Korean-Cuban friendship, proven and consolidated in the fight for the socialist cause, are developed just like strategic ones according to the needs imposed by present times, the article continued.
