Moscow (VNA) – Politburo member Truong Thi Mai, who is Secretary of the Party Central Committee and head of its Commission for Mass Mobilisation, paid a working visit to Russia from September 10-13.

They agreed to regularly share information and coordinate at multi-lateral forums.

Vietnam appreciates the KPRF’s support for a policy of strengthening ties with Vietnam pursued by the Russian President and Government, Mai stated.

The Vietnamese official also met Sergei Zheleznyak, Deputy Secretary of the United Russia Party’s General Council and State Duma Deputy Speaker. They exchanged experience in building the ruling Party in each country to contribute to fostering the Vietnam-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership.

In her working session with Justice Minister Alexander Konovalov, the two sides discussed issues related to state management of people’s organisations as well as the situation of the Vietnamese community in Russia.
