Cuba congratulates Paraguay on its National Holiday

 Cuba congratulated today the people and government of the Republic of Paraguay, on the occasion of its National Day.

On the occasion, the foreign ministry ratified the willingness to continue strengthening friendship and cooperation ties that unite both nations.

The May Revolution, as Paraguay's independence process was known in 1811, was a civic-military action that took place in Asuncion, on May 14 and 15 with the aim of ensuring the sovereign autonomy of the province of Paraguay against any foreign power and quickly convene a congress to determine a new form of government.

To celebrate the "National Independence Day in Paraguay", craft and entrepreneur fairs, parades, guided tours, concerts with national musical bands and other cultural options are held throughout the country.
