After 30 years of “doi moi” (Reform) initiated by the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Vietnamese people have reached remarkable attainments which have increased the country’s role and position in the international arena.
Head of the French Communist Party Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations Lydia Samarbakhsh described the regular attendance of the Nhan dan newspaper to the event as a vivid demonstration of the traditional relations between the two countries’ parties and newspapers.
During the visit, the Nhan Dan newspaper delegation met with leaders of the French Communist Party, the L’Humanite newspaper and international friends.
