City Exhibition Sheds Light On VN-Cuba Ties

Historical moments on show include the day when Cuban President Fidel Castro visited Quang Tri Province where the anti-American war was being fought at its fiercest level in 1973.

Castro at that time famously told the Vietnamese that Cuba was ready to devote its blood to help the country in its struggle for freedom. Posters calling for Cuba’s support in the war are also part of the display at the museum.

Along with photos and posters, the exhibition includes 52 rare stamp collections used in Viet Nam and Cuba lent by the HCM City Philatelists Association, which plans to donate the stamps to the museum for its permanent collection.
HCM City’s Cuba-Viet Nam Friendship Association was the co-organiser of the one-week event, which will end next Tuesday. — VNS
