Accordingly, the film, named “Fidel – untold story”, featuring the leader’s revolutionary career, was aired on VTV6 and VTV3; while the film “Vitality of Havana”, reflecting the city’s images after over 50 years of the US embargo against Cuba, was screened on VTV1, VTV3, VTV4, and VTV9.
The documentary “Vietnam-Cuba” episode 2 and the “Vietnam memories” program: “President Fidel Castro’s official visit to Vietnam in 1973”, which highlight major historical events of the special relationship between Vietnam and Cuba over the past years, were screened on VTV6 and VTV3, respectively.
Notably, an exchange program, entitled “Fidel Castro – a great friend of Vietnamese people”, screened on VTV1, helped audiences recall emotional stories and close friendship between the legendary leader and Vietnamese people.
