Cuban leader Fidel Castro’s visit to the newly-liberated region in central Quang Tri province in mid-September 1973 has become a symbol of fraternity between Vietnam and Cuba, VOV said.

Then First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee and Prime Minister Fidel Castro was the first foreign leader to visit the liberated zone in southern Vietnam, despite geographical distance and the dangers of the war at that time.

The Cuban leader’s trip helped encourage the Vietnamese army and people during the resistance war against the US, towards the victory on April 30, 1975.

Through the visit, the Cuban leader sent a message of solidarity with Vietnam to the world, and Cuba became the pioneer in this regard.

Between 1961 and 1975, Cuba presented about 50,000 tonnes of sugar to Vietnam each year and sent doctors to the country to care for war invalids and sick soldiers.

Nearly 1 million Vietnamese students who studied in Cuba during the period have contributed significantly to national construction and defense after returning home./.
