Havana, April 14 (Prensa Latina) President Miguel Díaz-Canel today called 2025 a historic year for Cuban-Vietnamese relations during a meeting with Vice Minister of Finance Le Tan Can, who is visiting here with a delegation from the Asian country.
The ties between the two countries are very strong, marked by friendship, brotherhood, cooperation, and solidarity, the president expressed to Tan Can and the rest of the government delegation from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Presidency reported.
The Cuban head of state noted that “we have been together in the most difficult times” and highlighted the significance of the 2024 visit to Havana by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, To Lam, which “marked a milestone in bilateral relations,” he said.
He also expressed his gratitude for “the helping hand extended during the difficult times the Cuban people are experiencing as part of the tightening of the blockade (by the United States against the island), a gesture on your part that demonstrates our historic brotherhood,” he noted.
Also comprised of the deputy ministers of Agriculture and Environment and business leaders from the Asian country, the delegation deployed a work agenda aimed at consolidating cooperation projects in various areas.
Among these, rice and corn cultivation stood out, as did the areas of biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry, the source revealed.
During his visit, Le Tan Cam also met with the Prime Minister of the Antilles, Manuel Marrero, with whom he reaffirmed the strategic nature of joint ties, particularly in the economic, commercial, financial, and cooperation spheres.
