Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, today received Le Hoai Trung, special envoy, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and Foreign Minister of that nation.

Through his official account on the social network X, the Cuban president highlighted that during the meeting both parties underscored the historic and solid ties that unite both parties, governments, and peoples.

"I thanked the permanent solidarity of our Vietnamese brothers with #Cuba," the president concluded.

The Vietnamese foreign minister, who arrived in Havana last Saturday on an official visit as special envoy of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President of the Asian nation, To Lam, held a high-level agenda that included official talks with his Cuban counterpart, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, in which the special character of the historic ties between both nations — cemented by leaders Ho Chi Minh and Fidel Castro Ruz — was reaffirmed.

During the talks, the Cuban foreign minister emphasized that Vietnam has consolidated itself as the largest investor from Asia and Oceania on the Island, with projects in strategic sectors such as agrifood, production of basic goods, construction materials, and renewable energy. He also thanked the Vietnamese government's donation consisting of photovoltaic solar parks for the generation of 80 MW, to be installed in Mayabeque province, contributing to mitigating the energy crisis the country faces.

Le Hoai Trung conveyed the condolences of Vietnam's top authorities for the passing of Commander of the Revolution Ramiro Valdés Menéndez and reaffirmed Vietnam's support for Cuba in the face of current challenges, as well as the willingness to continue expanding bilateral cooperation in areas of mutual interest.
