Cuba presents medals to Vietnam Fatherland Front leaders
The Standing Board of the Cuban Committee for Defence of the Revolution (CDR) has conferred "September 28" medals on leaders of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) on the occasion of its founding anniversary (September 28) in recognition of their contributions to developing friendship and solidarity between the two nations, especially the two mass organisations.
The medals were presented to Huynh Dam, VFF General Secretary; Le Truyen, VFF Vice President; and Ha Thi Lien, member of the VFF Standing Committee, at a ceremony held in Havana on October 6.
CDR President Juan Jose Fonseca warmly welcomed a delegation of the Vietnam Fatherland Front which visited Cuba at a time when his organisation was celebrating the 45th founding anniversary of CDR as a manifestation of the close solidarity between the two nations and mass organisations.
He stressed that the awards showed the Cuban people's warm sentiments to the Vietnamese people for their active support and assistance to Cuba in difficult times.
VFF Vice President Le Truyen thanked the CDR for the award as well as the Cuban people for their hospitality.
Also on this occasion, CDR leaders presented a painting of Jose Marti, a national hero of Cuba, to the VFF delegation. (VNA)
