Friendship insignia bestowed on Cuban Ambassador
VOV.VN - Cuban Ambassador to Vietnam Orlando Nicolás Hernández Guillén was honoured with the “For peace and friendship among nations” insignia of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO) in recognition of his contributions to both nations’ relations.
Speaking at the awarding ceremony, Phan Anh Son, president of the VUFO, acknowledged the Ambassador's efforts in fostering the long-standing friendship and solidarity between both sides during his tenure in Vietnam from 2021 to present.
He said that the diplomat has co-ordinated efforts with agencies and organisations of Vietnam in consolidating and developing traditional friendship and special solidarity between the two countries across various aspects, especially boosting ties and raising mutual understanding between Vietnamese and Cuban people, thus contributing to deepening bilateral ties.
During his tenure in the nation, the Ambassador has worked closely with the VUFO, the Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Association, and various Vietnamese agencies to organise numerous cultural events and commemorative activities. His involvement in the VUFO’s annual programmes and activities have therefore been instrumental to their success.
Son went on to express his confidence that Ambassador Guillén will continue to make contributions to joint ties in any future role.
For his part, the Ambassador expressed his gratitude to the invaluable support shown by the VUFO and other Vietnamese agencies during his tenure, going on to reaffirm his dedication to reinforcing the diplomatic relationship ahead in the years to come.
