Cuban newspaper launches special sub-web marking 65 years of Vietnam-Cuba ties
The sub-web, titled “Cuba y Vietnam: Lo del andar” (Cuba and Vietnam: Shared Journeys), launched on March 24, aspires to be the most vivid living museum of this time-honoured friendship.
Havana (VNA) – Granma, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of Cuba, has launched a special sub-web featuring rare images and archival materials celebrating the special solidarity between Vietnam and Cuba, which mark the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year (December 2, 1960 – 2025).
Released in the same year that Granma celebrates the 60th anniversary since its first issue (October 4, 1965), the sub-web is more than just an archive, it is a visual chronicle of a historic brotherhood. Among its highlights are iconic moments such as Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro’s famous declaration: “For Vietnam, Cuba is willing to shed its blood,” President Ho Chi Minh’s warm reception of the first Cuban delegation on its official visit to Vietnam, and the sugar-laden ships from Cuba arriving at Hai Phong port.
The sub-web, titled “Cuba y Vietnam: Lo del andar” (Cuba and Vietnam: Shared Journeys), launched on March 24, aspires to be the most vivid living museum of this time-honoured friendship.
It brings together a vast collection of materials, including over 5,000 articles from Vietnam’s resistance war against the US imperialists, 200 rare colour photos of Hanoi in the 1970s, and the original transcript of Fidel Castro’s speech during his historic visit to Vietnam's central province of Quang Tri in 1973 amid the ravages of war.
Over the past six decades, Granma journalists have stood alongside the Vietnamese people, reporting from the frontlines. Late journalist Marta Rojas, who dedicated her life to covering Vietnam, once said she felt like a Cuban born in the Mekong Delta. A veteran correspondent, Rojas was the last foreign journalist to interview President Ho Chi Minh. She also witnessed Vietnam’s national reunification on April 30, 1975.
