Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel emphasized the "historic and solid ties" between Cuba and Vietnam, expressing gratitude for the Asian nation's "permanent solidarity" during a meeting with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung. The visit, part of Trung's official tour as a special envoy, underscores the strong relationship between the two communist parties, governments, and peoples.

We highlight the historic and solid ties that unite both parties, governments, and peoples. I thanked the permanent solidarity of the Vietnamese brothers with Cuba.

Cooperation between Cuba and Vietnam extends across various sectors, including food security, biotechnology, the biopharmaceutical industry, health, education, science and technology, construction, and renewable energy. As part of his agenda, Trung met with his Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodríguez and visited the Mariel Special Development Zone and Pinar del Río province, where a joint rice production project is underway.

Rodríguez echoed the sentiment, describing the bilateral relations as being in an "excellent state" and reiterating Cuba's "deep gratitude" for Vietnam's "firm and permanent solidarity." He also thanked Vietnam for donating solar photovoltaic parks capable of generating 80 megawatts. During their discussions, Rodríguez informed Trung about the "criminal damage" caused by the intensified U.S. blockade, energy siege, and sanctions, which have severely impacted Cuba's economy and exacerbated its energy crisis.
