"The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and the Cuban Young Communist League are one united block. We both regard Ho Chi Minh and Fidel Castro as our leaders, we have the same ideal goal of socialism, the same tradition of solidarity and willingness to sacrifice," Tuan said. "Therefore, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union is always ready to coordinate with the Cuba Embassy to develop strong and friendly cooperation relations between the two youth unions."
