26 июля 2022

Cuba celebrates the National Rebellion Day on July 26. 69 years ago, a guerrilla unit led by Fidel Castro attempted to storm the barracks of government troops. The operation was unsuccessful, but it launched a guerrilla war that eventually culminated in a revolution. General Samosa, backed by American support, was eventually overthrown by the rebellious people. The President of Belarus, on behalf of himself and the Belarusian people, warmly congratulated his Cuban colleagues on today's holiday. Alexander Lukashenko expressed his confidence that the two countries would not only maintain the high level of their relations, but also considerably expand the bilateral dialogue and strengthen trade and economic cooperation.
