On the 66th anniversary of the founding of the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC), Cuba’s top leader Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, who serves as both First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic of Cuba, publicly paid tribute to Cuban women’s contributions across the country’s revolutionary and development efforts in a social media post shared on his official Twitter account.
In his message, Díaz-Canel extended heartfelt recognition and warm solidarity to all Cuban women, highlighting that their consistent dedication to national work continues to serve as a powerful source of inspiration for the entire nation, even in the face of ongoing challenges and difficulties that Cuba has navigated in recent years.
Beyond celebrating their legacy, the Cuban president stressed the indispensable role that women play in advancing the country’s revolutionary agenda, stating clearly that the revolution relies on their engagement, effort and commitment to carry forward all its core tasks.
To close his commemorative message, Díaz-Canel invoked the words of Fidel Castro, the iconic historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, to reinforce his tribute: As Fidel once declared, “The women of this nation are invincible.” The commemorative post was accompanied by an image courtesy of the Federation of Cuban Women, and was originally published by state news outlet Granma on August 24, 2026.
