Castro's stance on each of the socialist countries

[JKP]

I'd like some information on what he thought about regarding North Korea, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Poland etc.

EDIT: Or point me in a direction where I can find more.

Fidel Castro on boosting relations (http://www.soviet-empire.com/ussr/viewtopic.php?t=38033) (I can't seem to find the original source, sorry)

Same story with these links. I have no idea about their authenticity as I can't find them back on KCNA, but the pictures within them certainly are real.

This is quoted from a speech from Fidel in 1978,

The attitudes of the Chinese Government remind us of the Yankee arrogance
against Cuba. During the first years of the revolution, the imperialists
also tried to bring ships, without our authorization, to transport U.S.
citizens. They promoted the immigration of thousands and thousands of
Cubans, particularly professionals, specialists and skilled workers. They
launched a massive slander campaign against Cuba and adopted severe
economic blockade measures.

Vietnam, the fatherland of the most modest and unassuming Marxist-Leninist
of our time, the unforgettable and beloved Ho Chi Minh, [applause] Vietnam,
this thousand times heroic people whose patriotic and revolutionary deeds
astounded the world, is today also a victim of Chinese aggression and
betrayal. Some days ago, international cables announced violations of the
Vietnamese borders by Chinese military aircraft. If their criminal hand is
not halted in time, we shall see military provocations and serious Chinese
aggressions against heroic Vietnam. This is why we must offer the
Vietnamese people our most energetic solidarity and support. [long rhythmic
applause]

Our party intends to reorganize the Committees of Solidarity With Vietnam
against the threats of imperialist aggression. Although it may sound
absurd, this time the aggression is being organized by the imperialist' new
ally in the field of counterrevolution.

The disregard for people, norms and principles must have a limit. It must
halt somewhere. It must finally find a resistance in the world. Not even
Albania, a small socialist country which, during the first days of the
division of the revolutionary movement, supported China follows it today.
China also withdrew its economic cooperation from Albania.

The Chinese people, this fighting, hard-working, unselfish, heroic and
revolutionary people, will settle accounts sooner or later with the
traitors who have placed their beautiful internationalist flags at the feet
of imperialism. [applause]

Here Fidel is referring to the Chinese socio-imperialist Dengist invasion of Vietnam which took place late in the 1970s. He refers indirectly to Albania's breakup with China. The major problem with Fidel's position is that he takes the Khrushchevite and Brezhnevite position on the international question in terms of looking down upon Albania and China in the past as not being part of the "international order" (read: Soviet socio-imperialist order).

But otherwise, this is evidence of Cuban support for the Vietnamese revolution.
