Fidel Castro: Unforgettable memories

(CPV) - Forty years ago, in September 1973 when the war was taking place fiercely, Cuban leader Fidel Castro paid a historic visit to Vietnam’s liberated southern region to share the loss and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people. The highly significant visit became a symbol of the revolutionary heroism and of the loyal and pure relation between Vietnam and Cuba.

On the occasion of the 40^th celebration of the establishment of Vietnam – Cuba diplomatic ties, we introduce readers some images of the special visit.
