Lam Dong eyes to boost cooperation with Venezuela

Hanoi (VNA) – Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Council of Central Highlands Lam Dong province  Dong Tran Duc Quan led a delegation to pay working trip to Venezuela from June 14-17 to promote diplomatic ties and cooperation with the South American country.

The Vietnamese delegation had meetings with Jesus Farias, Member of the Venezuelan Constituent Assembly and Vice President in charge of economic affairs of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) Jesus Farias; and Venezuelan Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Tatiana Puigh.

Quan recalled the solidarity and support that the progressive forces and people of Venezuela gave to Vietnam in the struggle for reunification in the past and the renewal cause at present.

The Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) is delighted at the achievements that the PSUV has obtained over the past time, especially the success of its 5th National Congress, Quan said.

He expressed the belief that the Venezuelan party will successfully implement the congress’s resolution, building Venezuela into a prosperous country as the teachings of leader Hugo Chávez.

This is an important premise for Vietnam and Venezuela to expand all-around cooperation, including cooperation between their localities, Quan stressed.

During the visit, the delegation also had meetings with and inked cooperation agreements with organisations and businesses of the South American nation.
 
On the occasion, the delegation offered flowers in tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at his statue in Bolivar Avenue, Caracas./.
