In a congratulatory message sent to his counterpart, To Lam, Diaz-Canel quoted the words of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, who expressed that no country that fought for their independence “had to carry out such a long and heroic struggle as the people of Vietnam.”

Vietnam’s victory over colonialism and its final triumph over imperialism, a few years later, is a legacy that arouses global admiration, and is being magnified every day with the undeniable successes of the Renovation, under the leadership of the Communist Party, he stressed.

In addition to conveying To Lam his warmest congratulations to the brotherly Vietnamese people, Diaz-Canel considered the occasion appropriate “to reiterate the firm will to continue strengthening the fraternal relations between our peoples and parties.”

Likewiase, Cuban National People’s Power Assembly (ANPP) President Esteban Lazo, congratulated the people and authorities of Vietnam in a post on X.
