The relations between Vietnam and Cuba will receive a new impetus with the visit President, Truong Tan Sang, begins today to the Caribbean country, a great gift to celebrate the 55th anniversary of their diplomatic ties.
Invited by his peer, Raul Castro, Tan Sang will stay until Wednesday, Sept. 30, in Havana, a city that welcomed several leaders of the Asian country in recent years, among them Prime Minister, Nguyen Tan Dung, in March 2014, and Communist Party´s General Secretary, Nguyen Phu Trong, in April 2012. President Raul Castro visited this country in July 2012.
Those visits have only reaffirmed an important aspect of the ties: the frequent contacts between top leaders of both parties, to exchange views on their respective socialist construction processes, and contribute to the strengthening of bilateral relations.
But those ties are not concerned only with Vietnam in the years of the Renewal (Doi Moi, since 1986), but also with the stage of the struggle for the definitive liberation of this country, where unique moments of the bonds between the two parties, governments, and peoples, are always recalled.
It is worth to remember that the Cuban Committee of Solidarity with Vietnam, founded in September 1963, became a pioneer institution in the world, the Caribbean island was also the first state to establish an embassy in the jungles of the southern region of this country, in 1969, and in 1973, the leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, visited the liberated zone of Quang Tri province.
Supported by the rich history of their ties and the common will to continue strengthening them, Cuba and Vietnam are now working to bring economic relations to the level of policies, an objective to which the visit President, Truong Tan Sang, should contribute.
