Top legislator’s visit a hallmark in Vietnam-Cuba ties: Ambassador

The official visit to Cuba from April 18-23 by National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue will surely have important contributions to strengthening, consolidating, expanding and deepening the bilateral relations in all fields, said Vietnamese Ambassador to Cuba Le Thanh Tung.

The Cuban visit by National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue takes place at a special time for Cuba as it successfully organised the election of legislators to its National Assembly of People's Power on March 26, and on the occasion of the 60th founding anniversary of the Cuban Committee for Solidarity with South Vietnam and the 50th anniversary of the first visit to Vietnam by the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz. 

National Assembly Chairman Hue’s trip this time is the highest-level by Vietnamese Party and State leaders to Cuba in 2023. This is also the longest which has the largest number of official activities, with more than 40 covering all aspects, from politics and diplomacy to economy, trade, investment and many others. 

A lot of cooperation agreements, plans and programmes between the two sides will be signed during this visit, Tung said. 

The diplomat went on to say that the increasing number of investment projects between the two countries in recent years is a testament to the continuous development of the bilateral comprehensive cooperation on the basis of fraternal friendship and mutual trust between the two countries’ leaders and peoples./.
