"The
Cuban people feel a deep respect for the Chinese people,
their struggles, for their rich history full of heroism and
sacrifice, for their resistance against invaders, for their
love of freedom and revolution", said Vice Minister of the
Informatics and Communications Alberto Rodriguez Arufe, for
the cancellation of a postage stamp to mark the 60th
anniversary of the founding of the PRC.
That was occasion to celebrate the historic relations
between both nations, which met yesterday, completing 49
years, and to convey the fraternal greetings for the
sixtieth birthday.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ronxiang, the Asian giant's ambassador,
expressed fratitude for the greetings, and recalled the
roots of the ties that bind us and said that relations
between our countries are making progress and are
characterized by an important and efficient cooperation.
The
commemorative stamp was designed by José Antonio Medina from
Chinese platanized
work of the prominent artist Flora Fong, and part of his
personal
exhibition of China to the
Caribbean.
A
postal issue was attended Caridad Diego, chairwoman of the
Parliamentary Group of Friendship with China, Hilda Vasallo,
coordinator for Asia and Pacific Department of International
Relations of the Party Central Committee and members of the
Friendship Association and the Chinese colony in Cuba, among
others.
