Fidel Castro, a great leader of the Cuban people, an unyielding communist and revolutionary leader of Latin American nations and the struggle movement for peace and national independence, freedom and socialism.
He devoted all of his life to Cuba’s revolutionary cause, overthrowing the dictatorial regime and bringing the Cuban people to the era of independence and freedom since January 1959.
As a leader of the Cuban revolution for more than half a century, Fidel Castro, has always been a close comrade and brother of the Vietnamese leaders and people.
He has always stood side by side with Vietnam during its past struggle for national independence and reunification as well as current national development.
The world revolution loses an unyielding, brave and experienced leader, while the Party, State and people of Vietnam lose a close and beloved comrade and brother.
The Vietnamese people once again affirm the solidarity with the Cuban people.
Under his leadership, Cuba was the pioneer in the world movement supporting Vietnam’s struggle for independence as well as national construction.
Fidel Castro was presented with the Vietnamese State’s Golden Star Order in 1982 and Ho Chi Minh Order in 1989 for his great contributions.
the Cuban communists and people will continue to unite under the leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba and President Raul Castro to realise the wishes of late leader Fidel Castro.
How respectful the friendship between Vietnam and Cuba is.
