According to Mr. Ha, despite the geographical distance, Vietnam and Cuba are always close in the hearts of every citizen. Quoting the famous saying of President Fidel Castro: “For Vietnam, Cuba is willing to sacrifice its own blood”, Mr. Ha affirmed that this is a concrete action, a noble sacrifice that the Cuban people have made for Vietnam.
Mr. Ha said that Cuba is facing many difficulties, including the energy crisis that seriously affects life, especially in the field of education . Therefore, supporting the installation of solar power for schools is a practical action, contributing to sharing difficulties and continuing the tradition of international solidarity of the Vietnamese people.
The campaign was launched by the Ho Chi Minh City Union of Friendship Organizations and the Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam - Cuba Friendship Association, with the support of many agencies, organizations and social communities. The campaign lasts until November 30, 2025.
