Division 316 responds to fundraising campaign to support Cuban people

Senior Colonel Pham Hong Du, Deputy Political Commissar of Division 316, chaired the event.

Sr. Col. Pham Hong Du speaks at the event.

In his opening speech, Col. Du emphasized that throughout the resistance war against the U.S. imperialists for national liberation, the Cuban people always stood shoulder to shoulder with Vietnam, offering immense material and spiritual support. The immortal statement by leader Fidel Castro “For Vietnam, Cuba is willing to shed its own blood” has become a symbol of the special, loyal, and pure solidarity between the two nations.

He added that today, in the face of difficulties caused by embargoes, natural disasters, and epidemics, the Cuban people still need the shared support of international friends, including Vietnam.

He also urged relevant units to step up communication efforts on the program’s political, humanitarian, and diplomatic significance, while promoting the pioneering and exemplary role of officers and Party members to create widespread influence across the unit.
