Communist Party of Vietnam (PCV)’s general secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and Head of State Nguyen Xuan Phuc reiterated the will to strengthen the bilateral ties, in messages sent to the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and President Miguel Diaz-Canel.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Chairman of the National Assembly, Vuong Dinh Hue, did so in letters sent to their Cuban counterparts, Manuel Marrero and Esteban Lazo, respectively.

On December 2, 1960, Cuba became the first Latin American country to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam.
