The message said:

I, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the heroic attack on the Moncada Barrack which raised a curtain of an armed struggle against the pro-U.S. military dictatorial regime under the command of the dear respected Comrade Fidel Castro, extend warm congratulations and salute to you, the Communist Party of Cuba and the government and people of Cuba.

Being convinced that the traditional ties of friendship and unity between our two countries would further develop in significant July when the peoples of our two countries fully display their revolutionary will to live independently against imperialism and dominationism, I sincerely wish you greater success in your responsible work.
