On behalf of the leaders of the Cuban Party and State, Comrade Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Politburo member and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, gave an emotional speech, reviewing the heroic chapters of the solidarity and fighting spirit between the two countries.

Comrade Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla recalled the immortal image of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro standing on Hill 241, just a few hundred meters from the front line, steadfastly raising the flag of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam, and declaring that has gone down in history: "For Vietnam, Cuba is willing to sacrifice its blood."

Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez highly appreciated Vietnam's steadfast and loyal support in the Cuban people's struggle against the US embargo and the inclusion of Cuba on the list of countries sponsoring terrorism, and expressed deep gratitude for Vietnam's great support in the agricultural sector, contributing to ensuring food security for Cuba, as well as the meaningful donation movement launched by the Vietnam Red Cross Society, which exceeded all expectations.

“This noble and moving act once again affirms the truth: for Vietnam, solidarity with Cuba is a command of the heart,” the Cuban Foreign Minister emphasized.
