The message addressed to President Daniel Ortega, and Vice President Rosario Murillo stresses: “On behalf of our party, the Cuban people and government, we extend our warmest congratulations on the 42nd anniversary of the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution”.

“The text added that Cuba, with its irrevocable solidarity and internationalist commitment, will continue marching together with the brother Nicaraguan people, who guided by you and raising the flags of Sandinism, face the challenges of socio-economic development in challenging conditions.

The Cuban leaders expressed that Nicaragua can count on their support “to continue strengthening the historical ties of brotherhood that unite us”.
