First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) Central Committee and President of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermudez has thanked Vietnam and other international friends for their support to the Caribbean nation in times of hardship.

The leader wrote on Twitter on July 30 that the solidarity between Cuba and others had been strengthened during difficult times, voicing his gratitude to governments and peoples that have helped Cuba.
