VIGLACERA Corporation – JSC and Vi-Mariel SA Vietnam Company donated one hundred tons of rice to Cuba at the headquarters of the Cuban Ministry of Internal Trade (MINCIN), Havana on Monday (January 10, 2022).
During the event held at the headquarters of the Cuban Ministry of Internal Trade (MINCIN), Vice President of ViMariel SA Company, located in the Mariel Special Development Zone (ZED Mariel), emphasized that the people of the two countries always stand side by side at all times, both in war and in peace.
Mr. Nguyen Quang Hung, Vice President of Vietnam’s ViMariel SA Company, presented 100 tons of rice to the Cuban people to show the special solidarity of the two countries.
Mr. Nguyen Quang Hung, Vice President of ViMariel SA, said that Viglacera Corporation – JSC is currently developing two projects in Cuba, one of which is SANVIG Company, with two factories producing sanitary ware and ceramic tiles in the cities of San José and Santa Cruz del Norte, in the province of Mayabeque. In 2021, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, SANVIG will continue to grow profitably and create many products for the Cuban people.
“We are facing the same difficulties and challenges as any other company in the world and especially in Cuba,” emphasized ViMariel SA vice president, referring to the US strengthening the Caribbean nation’s blockade nearly six decades ago and the situation in which COVID-19 has hampered the economic recovery. “Even so, the ViMariel SA industrial park infrastructure project, the first franchise approved by General Raúl Castro, continues to develop and adhere to the three-month implementation plan.”
