Cuba celebrated the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Because it is a friendship whose roots are anchored to the heart, this Monday afternoon took place with the presence of First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, the ceremony for the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

We are pleasantly surprised by the immediate and massive participation of the Vietnamese people, the ambassador said.

The fundraising campaign “65 Years of Vietnam–Cuba Solidarity,” launched on August 13 by the Vietnam Red Cross to support the Caribbean island, garnered participation from more than 1.7 million people in just six days, raising nearly 339 billion dongs, or approximately 13 million dollars.

The FMC must always resemble today's Cuban women.

Renewal, steadfastness, resilience, and creativity must today guide, more than ever, the work of the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC), founded on August 23, 1960, at the express will of Cuban women and inspired by Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz.
