The President Ho Chi Minh statue campus, built on an area of 5,600 square metres in Nuevo Vedado district in the centre of La Habana, was completed on May 19th, 2003, marking the 113th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh. A Cuba - Vietnam Friendship Sub-committee has been established to protect and care for this construction of great significance. On the occasion of Vietnamese big events or Vietnamese delegations visiting Cuba, the Cuban side and Vietnamese Embassy in Cuba often lay wreaths to commemorate President Ho Chi Minh at the statute.

On the same day, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong met with staff members of the Vietnamese Embassy in Cuba and the Vietnamese community in Cuba.

He praised the embassy’s staff members for promoting solidarity and responsibility to realize assigned tasks, adding that they had made active contributions to effectively carrying out cooperation deals between the two countries, and further deepening the Vietnam - Cuba special relationship./.
