In turn, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has affirmed Viet Nam’s consistent policy of supporting the revolutionary cause of the fraternal Cuban people.

He expressed thanks to First Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Raul Castro and leaders of the Cuban Party and State for cabling messages of condolences to the Vietnamese Party, State, and people over the recent passing of former General Secretary of the CPV Central Committee Do Muoi and sending a high-ranking delegation led by Tapia to Viet Nam to attend the State funeral.

The General Secretary said Viet Nam considers the victory of Cuba as part of its own and believes that on the back of resolutions adopted by the sixth and seventh National Congress of the CPC, Cuba will continue successfully updating economic and socialist-building models, opening up a new development period for the sake of democracy, prosperity, and sustainability.

Viet Nam is ready to share its experience in the renewal cause with Cuba and congratulates the CPC, State, and people of Cuba on their achievements in politics-ideology, education, healthcare, and sports, he said.
