First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee and President of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez paid respect to late President Ho Chi Minh on September 1.

Earlier, the Cuban leader and his delegation visited the Vietnam Military History Museum, where they laid flowers at the monument honoring Cuban military experts who supported Vietnam's struggle for independence. The delegation also offered flowers in tribute to Cuban national hero José Martí at his statue in Hanoi's Tao Dan Park and visited the Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Groups.

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.
