Namibia and Cuba have reaffirmed their long-standing solidarity and historic friendship as the two countries marked the 73rd Moncada Day commemoration, with a procession through Windhoek culminating at the Fidel Castro Primary School.

The Cuban Ambassador to Namibia, Sergio De La Uz, expressed anticipation that the UN General Assembly would once again vote overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution calling for an end to the US economic blockade against Cuba.
