Hanoi (VNA) - The National Political Publishing House held
a ceremony in Hanoi on October 3 to introduce the book entitled "Cuba -
Vietnam: Two Nations, One History”.
The event was part of activities to mark the
60th founding anniversary of the Cuban Committee for Solidarity
with South Vietnam and the 50th anniversary of leader
Fidel Castro’s visit to Vietnam and the southern liberated zone.
The Party Central Committee’s Commission for
External Relations and Commission for Information and Education, and the
National Political Publishing House translated and published the book from its
original Spanish version.
Speaking at the event, Director and
Editor-in-Chief of the publishing house Asso. Prof Vu Trong Lam said the book
by Dr. Ruvislei González Saez, Vice President of the Cuba-Vietnam Friendship
Association and Director of the International Relations Programme in Cuba,
documents the important milestones in the enduring and steadfast relationship
between Vietnam and Cuba over the past more than six decades since the
establishment of their diplomatic ties in 1960.
According to Lam, the book is a chronicle of
events, systematically documenting significant events in the bilateral relationship.
It covers a wide range of events, from high-level visits, exchanges to
bilateral cooperation in various fields. The book is complemented by a rich collection
of photos that vividly depict the enduring fraternal friendship between the two
nations though they are geographically distant.
The translation, publication and release of
this book could be seen as a spiritual gift dedicated to the fraternal Cuban people
and generations of the Vietnamese and Cuban people who have made significant
contributions to building, preserving and fostering this special solidarity and
friendship, he said./.
