According to Dr. Nguyen Viet Thao, throughout their revolutionary journeys, the peoples of the two nations have always stood shoulder to shoulder, willing to share even a pill or a grain of rice during difficult times. He stated that José Martí’s ideology continues to illuminate this enduring solidarity, allowing Vietnam and Cuba to walk together and share both achievements and challenges in the process of national development.
“We extend to our Cuban friends our loyal solidarity and companionship in all circumstances. Together, we will surely attain final victory,” Dr. Nguyen Viet Thao affirmed.
