Signed by MPLA Vice President Luisa Damiao, the message transmits a “fraternal and warm greeting” to the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), recognizing its important role in the construction of a prosperous nation with a view to the entire people’s social welfare.

At the same time, it acknowledged the work of the political organization in the implementation of Cuba’s internationalist vocation, “bringing solidarity to those who need it throughout the world.”

According to the MPLA, under the leadership of President Miguel Diaz-Canel, the PCC “will continue promoting the political and socioeconomic transformations in the country’s development, despite the reprehensible economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed by the United States for several decades.”

The letter also reiterates its recognition of Cuba’s unwavering solidarity with the Angolan people and reaffirms the purpose of continuing working to strengthen the ties of friendship, solidarity and cooperation that unite the two parties and peoples.
