Hanoi (VNA) - A delegation of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) led by Pham Tan Cong, Vice Secretary of the Party Organisation of the Central Enterprises Bloc, attended the 25th Sao Paulo Forum, which took place in Venezuela’s capital Caracas from July 25 – 28.
Held by the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), the forum brought together 1,100 delegates from over 190 parties across 70 countries in Latin America and other parts of the world.
