During the reception, Mr. Liem confirmed that despite the great geographical distance, Vietnam and Cuba had maintained a special relationship over the past 60 years.
He stressed that the two countries had carried out diverse important diplomatic and political activities, and exchanged high level visits to reinforce the Vietnam – Cuba special friendly relationship.
