Hanoi (VNA) –
Politburo member and permanent member of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)
Central Committee’s Secretariat Truong Thi Mai held talks with Politburo member
and permanent member of the Secretariat of the
Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) Central Committee Roberto Morales Ojeda in
Hanoi on May 4.
Ojeda is in Vietnam
from April 30 – May 4 to co-chair the fifth theoretical workshop between the
two Parties.
At the talks, Mai
conveyed Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong’s regards to Raul Castro Ruz and first Secretary of
the PCC and President of Cuba Díaz-Canel.
She
reaffirmed Vietnam's consistent stance of opposing the blockade and sanctions
against Cuba.
Expressing
admiration for the significant victories that the Cuban people have achieved in
the implementation of the resolutions adopted by the PCC’s eighth Congress, she
believed that under the leadership of the PCC led by First Secretary
Díaz-Canel, and with the revolutionary ideology of Fidel Castro and Raul
Castro, the Cuban Party, State and fraternal people will successfully realise
resolutions adopted by the eighth Congress.
Ojeda, for his part,
affirmed that the Cuban Party and State attach importance to special friendship
with Vietnam. He emphasised that ties between the two Parties lay a political foundation for the comprehensive
development of relations between the two countries.
The
two officials reviewed the implementation of the cooperation agreement and exchange
for the 2018-2023 period between the two Parties, especially in key areas such
as the exchange of all-level delegations, ideology and practice, personnel training,
communications and coordination at forums, mechanisms while identifying focal
points and ways of their cooperation in the coming time.
They
pledged to facilitate all-level visits, strengthen political trust and direct
agencies concerned to work closely together to effectively implement
cooperation agreements and mechanisms between ministries, agencies and
localities; renew bilateral cooperation methods to step up potential
cooperation areas that are urgent and suitable for the needs of both sides.
The
Cuban official welcomed and committed all possible support to Vietnam’s
projects in the Caribbean country.
Hailing
the outcomes of the fifth theoretical workshop between the two Parties and the sharing
of experience, theories and practices in building socialism and State
management in various fields over the past years, they agreed to continue
promoting this important and practical area of cooperation in the coming time
under new forms and specific contents that closely align with the practical
requirements of each Party and country. They also assigned the two Party
Central Committees’ organs and research institutions to share professional experience.
Following the talks, they witnessed the signing of a cooperation and exchange agreement for
the 2023-2028 period between the CPV and PCC.
In the afternoon the
same day, Politburo member and head of the CPV Central Committee’s Economic
Commission Tran Tuan Anh hosted a reception for head
of the Economic-Productive Department of the PCC Central
Committee Joel Queipo Ruiz.
They
informed each other about the situation of each Party and country and discussed
measures to strengthen bilateral coordination, especially in advising orientations
to socio-economic development and promoting economic, trade and investment
cooperation between the two countries./.
