At the forum, Thao joined 500 representatives of 104 political parties from 23 nations to discuss and approve nearly 30 resolutions, action programmes and a joint declaration condemning conspiracies of hostile forces against constitutional governments in the region while welcoming the decision to reopen a Cuban embassy in Washington D.C. and a US embassy in Havana.
