On its Twitter account, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs ratified the willingness to continue strengthening the ties of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.

Since 1940, this date has been celebrated and it is closely connected with the birthday of Franz Joseph II, Prince of Liechtenstein (1906-1989).

Franz Joseph II was one of the major figures in the Principality in the context of World War II (1939-1945), when he maintained the inviolability and neutrality of his region.

The Principality of Liechtenstein is a small European State, located between Switzerland and Austria. It has an area of 160 square kilometers and a population of more than 38,000.
