• Vietnam, Cuba vow to foster friendship
• Cuba’s Giron victory marked in Vietnam

Yolanda Ferrer, President of the Cuba-Vietnam Friendship Association, made this statement in a report summarizing the organization’s activities in 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.

During its annual meeting in Havana on April 20, Ferrer reviewed her organization’s activities, focusing on the meeting with Vietnamese Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong during his  recent official visit to Cuba.

She thanked the Vietnamese Party, Government and people for their support and solidarity with the Cuban people in their struggle for the US lifting its embargo imposed on the Latin American nation and for the release of five Cuban patriots who are currently being unjustly detained in US prisons.
