Havana (VNA) - The Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)’s Committee in Cuba held a
ceremony on February 3 to lay a wreath at a bust of President Ho Chi Minh in
Havana to mark the 91st anniversary of the Party.
Speaking at the
event, Vietnamese Ambassador to Cuba Le Thanh Tung, who is also Secretary of
the Party Committee in Cuba, underlined the decisive role of the CPV since
its establishment in all of Vietnam’s achievements and briefed attendees on the
recently-concluded 13th National Party Congress.
He expressed his
gratitude to Cuban friends who contributed to the construction and maintenance
of the bust of the Vietnamese leader, thereby bringing the late President closer to
the people of Cuba and making the venue among the symbols of Vietnam-Cuba
friendship.

Gutierrez, the architect of the site, who was involved for nearly 60 years
in friendship activities with Vietnam, recalled the milestones in bilateral
relations and the deep sentiments of the Cuban people towards Vietnam.
