Title: Vietnam's Liberation Anniversary Reaffirms Cuba's Steadfast Solidarity
The headline in Granma, Cuba's official newspaper, reads "Vietnam, an example for revolutionaries and peoples worldwide," underlining the enduring bond between these two nations during Vietnam's 50th anniversary of liberation and national reunification (April 30, 1975 - 2025)
Cuban newspapers have published various articles highlighting the historic camaraderie between Cuba and Vietnam, honoring the half-century commemoration of Vietnam's victory against imperialism. The Young Communist League's daily Juventud Rebelde described Vietnam's triumph as a "bright epic," while Granma, the Communist Party of Cuba's official newspaper, recalled how Vietnam served as an exemplary force for global national liberation movements.
The articles expressed profound respect for Vietnam's resilience, detailing the enormous sacrifices faced by the Vietnamese people. An estimated 7.6 million tonnes of bombs and ammunition were dropped on the country, and nearly 4 million lives were lost to achieve independence.
Both newspapers took time to acknowledge the exceptional solidarity between the two nations. Juventud Rebelde reminisced about the crucial visit of Fidel Castro to the liberated area of Quảng Trị in 1973, when he raised the flag of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam and asserted, "For Vietnam, Cuba is willing to devote its blood!"
Vietnam's Ambassador to Cuba, Lê Quang Long, shared that Fidel Castro's courageous spirit during the war has become an eternal symbol of friendship. He emphasized that the April 30 victory marked the beginning of the journey to construct a peaceful, unified, and prosperous Vietnam, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people.
The 50th reunification anniversary holds immense significance for both nations, as it coincides with the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations and the Vietnam-Cuba Year of Friendship 2025. Cuba's Vice President Salvador Valdes Mesa reiterated the enduring commitment of Cuba to Vietnam, noting the "comprehensive and profound" cooperation across various sectors like agriculture, healthcare, education, and judicial affairs.
The 2025 Vietnam Expo saw an increase in Cuban involvement, leading to the generation of a 2025-2026 Action Plan to boost trade and address operational challenges. Both nations strive to utilize this symbolic moment to enhance their partnerships in anticipation of Vietnam's 14th National Congress in 2026, a critical juncture in Vietnam's socialist development.

Vietnam's remarkable achievements in socio-economic development were also recognized. The World Bank anticipates Vietnam to exhibit an impressive 6.8% GDP growth rate in 2025, making it among the most dynamic economies in the region. Juventud Rebelde emphasized the vital role of the Communist Party of Vietnam and national unity in achieving these victories, echoing the vision of President Hồ Chí Minh to build a peaceful, unified, independent, democratic, and prosperous Vietnam.
Cuban readers expressed their heartfelt appreciation for Vietnam's journey, remembering the emotional scenes that unfolded in Havana on the morning of April 30, 1975, when they rushed to the Embassy of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam to celebrate Vietnam's victory. For many, this anniversary is a poignant reminder of the unwavering brotherhood between Cuba and Vietnam.
