A delegation from the Vietnamese Embassy in Cuba led by Ambassador Duong Minh on May 23 made a visit to the Vo Thi Thang primary school in Miramar district, Havana, Cuba.

Jointly held by the Embassy and the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the People (ICAP), the visit aims to reinforce the ties between the two countries.

Speaking at the meeting with the delegation, the school rector Mirta Gonzalez expressed her admiration for the spirit shown by Vietnam during wartime to bring independence and freedom to the country, as well as its continuation throughout the ongoing process of national development.

Thanking the Vietnamese Government and people for their support to the school over the last few years, Gonzales said pupils studying there are very interested in enquiring about Vietnam, late President Ho Chi Minh and the traditional friendship and solidarity between the two countries.

For his part, Ambassador Minh said he rejoices at the school’s achievements in education in recent times, expressing his hope that the school’s teachers will continue educating their pupils on the history of the friendship between Vietnam and Cuba, thus further bolstering the ties in the future.-VNA
