At talks between VGCL President Dang Ngoc Tung and visiting STU Secretary in charge of international affairs Javier Doz in Hanoi on Nov. 4, Tung affirmed the STU delegation’s working visit to Vietnam would contribute to promoting the friendship and cooperation between the two trade unions and their workers.

He said he hoped both sides would exchange information on trade union activities as well as experiences and the skills to organise negotiations on labour contracts in private and foreign-invested businesses.

The two sides should organise training courses to increase trade unionists’ knowledge and set up ties between trade unions of the two countries’ localities, he said.

While in Vietnam from Nov. 4-9, the Spanish delegation will hold working sessions with the trade unions of Hanoi , the northern coastal province of Quang Ninh , Vietnam Industry and Trade and Vietnam Garment and Textiles trade unions. They will also tour a number of Vietnam ’s historical relics and sites./.
