35th anniversary of liberation of south Vietnam celebrated in Cuba

The 35th anniversary of the liberation of south Vietnam was celebrated in Havana, Cuba on April 21 by the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) and the Cuba-Vietnam Friendship Association in collaboration with the Vietnamese Embassy in Cuba.
The celebration was attended by Deputy Head of the Communist Party of Cuba’s (CPC) Commission for Foreign Affairs Oscar Martinez Cordoves, Vice Chairwoman of the ICAP Alicia Corredera Morales, Vice Chairman of the Cuba-Vietnam Friendship Association and Vietnamese Ambassador to Cuba Vu Chi Cong and many dignitaries.
In a speech, Mr Cong highlighted the great significance of the victory on April 30, 1975 which effectively ended the general uprising and Ho Chi Minh campaign to liberate south Vietnam and achieve national unification.
The Vietnamese Ambassador thanked the Cuban Party and people, particularly revolutionary leader Fidel Castro for their valuable support and assistance to Vietnam’s past struggle for national independence and its current process of national construction and defence.
On the occasion, Mr Cong presented some mementos to Cuban journalist Martha Rojas and the ICAP leadership.
