Party General Secretary and President To Lam, his spouse and a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation laid a wreath at the monument of President Ho Chi Minh in the park named after him in Havana, Cuba, on September 27. Joining the ceremony was Emilio Lozada Garcia, head of the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee’s Department of International Relations. The monument, situated on one of Havana’s largest streets, stands on a 54 sq.m red marble base symbolising the 54 ethnic groups of Vietnam. At its centre lies a five-pointed star made of yellow flowers, representing the national flag of Vietnam. It serves as a tribute to President Ho Chi Minh’s pivotal role in uniting revolutionary forces to achieve national liberation.
