HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 26(ACN) “We are confident that your diplomatic work in our country will contribute to further develop the close and historic relations between Cuba and Vietnam,” Political Bureau member Esteban Lazo Hernandez, president of the National Assembly of People’s Power and of the Council of State, assured to Le Quang Long, ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, on behalf of the Cuban parliamentarians.
“Cuba and Vietnam are united by close historical and unbreakable bonds of brotherhood forged by Fidel Castro and Ho Chi Minh. Our peoples and main leaders have built an exemplary relationship, a symbol of our times, of deep solidarity and unity,” he remarked.
He recalled the emblematic phrase “For Vietnam we are ready to give even our own blood!” expressed by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro Ruz, who was the first and only world leader, Head of State or Government, to visit liberated territories of South Vietnam in 1973 still under the threat of U.S. bombs.
Lazo sent warm greeting
