Letter, Political of the Central Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party to the Central Committee of the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party

The Bulgarian Communist Party's Central Committee reported on a delegation's visit to Cuba, emphasizing the positive developments under Fidel Castro's leadership toward building a socialist society.

It proposed stronger coordination and assistance from socialist countries, particularly through economic and cultural integration, to support Cuba's socialist development and overcome its structural difficulties.
