Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador Dang Xuan Dung affirmed the support of the Party, Government and people of Vietnam for Cuba’s revolution and socio-economic model update, expressing his hope that Cuba will overcome all difficulties to succeed in socialism building.

He thanked the Cuban Party, Government and people for their valuable support, solidarity and fraternity with Vietnam during the country’s past struggle for national independence as well as its present Doi Moi (Reform) cause and national construction.

Vietnamese people also keep in mind Cuban leader Fidel Castro’s statement that “For Vietnam, Cuba is willing to shed its blood,” the diplomat stressed.

For his part, Cuban Ambassador Orestes Perez Perez highlighted the model relationship between Vietnam and Cuba, which, he said, has been tested over the past decades.

Applauding achievements Vietnam has recorded in economic development, the ambassador said Vietnam and Cuba will continue to stand side by side with each other in the path of socialism building despite changes of the era./.
