To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) and President of the Asian nation, received Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla during his official visit as a Special Envoy of the Cuban Party and Government.
During the meeting, as reported by the Cuban Foreign Ministry via its social media channels and the Cubaminrex portal, Bruno Rodríguez conveyed to To Lam a fraternal embrace from the current leader of the Cuban Revolution, Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, and from the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez.
The two sides highlighted the historic, special and multifaceted ties between the two socialist nations, as well as Cuba’s commitment to further strengthening them.
They also addressed the severe harm inflicted upon the Cuban people by the tightening of the U.S. economic, commercial and financial blockade — a situation exacerbated by an energy embargo and coercive sanctions.
To Lam reaffirmed his solidarity and steadfast support for overcoming the difficulties and challenges currently faced by the Cuban people.
The Cuban Foreign Minister expressed his gratitude for the enduring solidarity and unwavering support of the Vietnamese Party, Government and people.
Subsequently, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla held official talks with his Vietnamese counterpart, Le Hoai Trung, according to Cubaminrex.
Both officials reviewed the most recent exchanges between their respective foreign ministries.
They recalled the Cuban Foreign Minister’s visit to Vietnam in February 2025, as well as the eighth round of political consultations held in Hanoi in July 2025. They also noted the recent visit in June by To Lam — General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President — in his capacity as a Special Envoy.
Bruno Rodríguez expressed gratitude for Vietnam’s historic and steadfast support for Cuba in its struggle against the blockade and against the island’s continued inclusion on the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism—highlighting, in particular, the statement made by To Lam during the High-Level Segment of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2026.
Le Hoai Trung reaffirmed Vietnam’s long-standing support for Cuba in the agri-food sector, in line with the agreements reached during high-level visits.
