The event was also attended by representatives from the international relations department of the Communist Party of Cuba’s Central Committee, Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), and students of the school
In his remarks, Principal Diamikis de los Milagros Meriño said the school is honoured to be named after the Vietnamese martyr who sacrificed his life for his homeland.
Tung, for his part, thanked the school and its students and teachers for their precious gesture, saying it vividly reflects the mutual understanding and special friendship between the two peoples. Though Vietnamese and Cuban people live half a globe away, they share believes and aspiration for independence, freedom and human development, he emphasised.
He expressed his belief Cuban people will surmount current difficulties and carry on with their revolutionary cause and that the country’s future generations, like those studying at Nguyen Van Troi School, will further nurture the long-standing friendship between the two peoples.
