Venezuela´s Maduro congratulates Cuba and its Revolution

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 2 (ACN) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Cuba is an example of a strong and rebellious people who decided to build their destiny, in a message congratulating the island-nation, Army General Raul Castro and President Miguel Diaz-Canel on the new anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

In Twitter Maduro wrote: "We extend a greeting and admiration to our brother Raúl and @DiazCanelB, in the 61st anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. A living example for humanity present in the strength and rebellion of a people that refused to be a colony and decided to build its own destiny. Long live Fidel!
Also on Wednesday, according to Prensa Latina, President Maduro congratulated the Cuban Revolution on its new anniversary on behalf of the Venezuelan people, a process he described as the mother of Latin American revolutions and an example of dignity for the world, in a statement released by the Foreign Ministry of that country.
The Venezuelan government highlights Cuba's resistance to the aggressiveness of the United States, which in the last six decades has applied terrorism and a criminal economic, commercial and financial blockade to try to destroy it.
The Cuban revolution began with the strategic victory of January 1, 1959, after the Granma yacht reached Cuban coasts and the heroic days of the Sierra Maestra mountain range, to change everything that had to be changed, obtaining prodigious achievements in the promotion of social rights, the text states.
In addition to Maduro's greeting and recognition of the legacy of the process that is now 61 years old, Caracas highlighted the figure of Fidel Castro, the historic leader of the revolution in the largest of the Antilles, and recent events in the Caribbean country, such as the new Constitution, the result of a national debate and a popular consultation.
The South American country's government also reiterated its support for Cuba and the ties of brotherhood between the two nations.
When the U.S. empire, in its frustration and failure, attacks in unison the Cuban Revolution and the Bolivarian Revolution, the Venezuelan people reaffirm their vital commitment of brotherhood and solidarity with the people of Cuba, in the common cause of independence, the unity of Our America and the struggle for a fraternal and humane world, as dreamed by Bolivar and Martí, Chávez and Fidel, the text underlined.
