During his speech, the Military, Naval and Air attacher to the Embassy of Cuba, Colonel Waldo Pérez Cortés, stressed that the armed forces also stand out for active participation in the political, economic and social events of the country and in other areas such as the confrontation with natural disasters and epidemics.
That is why we dedicate this celebration to our courageous combatants, who together with our noble and heroic people guarantee the sovereignty of our homeland, to which we will not give up as harsh as they are the cruel and unjust measures of economic pressure imposed by the United States, he added.
The colonel said that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Cuba 64 years ago, the two peoples, States and armed forces share deep ties of friendship that strengthen day by day, with a true sense of brotherhood and solidarity.
The Added also took the opportunity to thank the Asian giant once again for its support and solidarity with the island in multiple ways.
Since December 2, 1961, the Day of the Revolutionary Armed Forces has been celebrated in Cuba to the landing of the 82 expeditionaries of the Yacht Granma in 1956, who formed the nucleus of the Rebel Army and began the last stage of the war of national liberation. (Text and photo: PL)
