In a significant diplomatic gathering, Syrian and Cuban representatives convened to commemorate the profound legacy of the late Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, focusing on his pivotal role in fostering bilateral relations and advancing Global South solidarity.
The assembly highlighted the remarkable outpouring of admiration from the Syrian populace following Castro’s passing, noting how his visionary leadership continues to resonate across international boundaries. Participants examined Castro’s strategic diplomacy that significantly strengthened Cuban-Syrian ties while simultaneously reshaping the Caribbean nation’s relationships with developing countries worldwide.
A particularly poignant moment came with the reading of an official statement from the Association of Syrian Graduates of Cuban Universities, which delivered an emotional tribute to the Commander’s enduring influence. The document emphasized how Castro’s principles of social justice, equality, and international cooperation left an indelible mark on generations of Syrian professionals educated in Cuba.
The declaration recalled Cuba’s steadfast support for Syria and other Global South nations during their most challenging historical periods, asserting that Castro’s ideological framework remains vibrantly alive among Syrian professionals who studied on the island. The Association further reaffirmed its commitment to perpetuating Castro’s vision by continuing to strengthen fraternal bonds between the two nations, inspired by the leader’s conviction that global justice, peace, and human dignity can only be achieved through international unity and mutual solidarity.
