He suggested promoting high-level delegation exchanges, maintaining regular dialogues and coordination to effectively implement agreed-upon commitments, leveraging bilateral dialogue and cooperation mechanisms, and strengthening collaboration at multilateral forums.

The two sides should educate younger generations about the 65-year history of the exemplary Vietnam-Cuba relationship founded by President Ho Chi Minh and leader Fidel Castro Ruz, and nurtured by generations of leaders and people of both nations, Cuong said.

Cuban FM Bruno Rodríguez stated that the Party, State, and people of Cuba treasure the unwavering solidarity as well as spiritual and material support from their Vietnamese counterparts.

He emphasided Cuba’s commitment to further deepening economic, trade, investment ties, and other areas of cooperation, ensuring they match the special political relationship between the two nations.

The official congratulated Vietnam on its socio-economic achievements, while reaffirming Cuba’s desire to continue exchanging experiences and strengthening cooperation with Vietnam across all channels and sectors, thereby contributing to the development of both nations as well as peace, stability, and cooperation in the region and the world./.
