Delegates at the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum
Despite being separated by half the globe, the Vietnam-Cuba relationship has become a model for international relations. From the foundations laid by Cuban national hero José Martí, President Ho Chi Minh, and Cuban leader Fidel Castro, successive generations of leaders and citizens of both countries have nurtured a bond forged through history’s ups and downs.
Over the past 65 years, bilateral cooperation has expanded across all levels, channels, and sectors, structured around three main pillars of political-diplomatic relations as the foundation, economic-trade-investment cooperation as the driving force, and people-to-people exchanges as the binding element.
The Cuban leader’s state visit to Vietnam once again reaffirms that the solidarity between Vietnam and Cuba remains a guiding light for cooperation and development, serving the legitimate interests of both nations and contributing to joint efforts for peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the region and the world./.
