General Director of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) Vu Viet Trang and President of the Prensa Latina (PL) news agency of Cuba Luis Enrique Gonzalez Acosta signed a new cooperation agreement during their talks in Havana on April 18 (Cuba time). The talks took place within the framework of the ongoing official visit to the Caribbean nation by National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.

VNA leader Vu Viet Trang highlighted the cooperation achievements between the two news agencies over the past nearly six decades.

Gonzalez Acosta thanked the VNA for its support in all aspects since the two news agencies established their cooperative ties.

He affirmed his further support to the VNA’s representative office in Havana in all activities when necessary, and in improving the quality of the Spanish version of the agency’s Vietnam Pictorial.

The two sides reviewed the implementation of bilateral cooperation programmes in information exchange, the publication of Vietnam Pictorial, expert exchange and support to each other's correspondents.
