Photo exhibition strengthens friendship ties between Vietnam and Cuba

The event is part of activities marking the 69th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2) of Vietnam.

The Vietnamese embassy in Cuba in collaboration with the Asia House Museum on August 27 kicked off a photo exhibition hailing the warm friendship between Vietnam and Cuba at differing periods of time.
 
At the ceremony, Ambassador Duong Minh noted the significance of the exhibition, saying it has helped Cuban people learn more about the Vietnamese struggle for national independence, construction and development, especially the nation’s achievements during the Doi Moi (Renewal) process.
Through the event, Cuban residents can learn more about friendship and solidarity between the two nations, especially the photos of Cuban President Fidel Castro when he went to newly-liberated Quang Tri province in 1973 to encourage the fighting spirit of Vietnamese soldiers.
The diplomat expressed his belief that the ongoing socio-economic update which has been carried out by the Cuban Party, Government and people, will reap a greater success in the interests of Cuban people towards a prosperous and wealthy socialist nation.
For his part, former Cuban Ambassador to Vietnam Aise Sotolongo spoke highly of the resilient tradition of Vietnamese people since the success of the August 1945 Revolution under the leadership of late President Ho Chi Minh.
