Vietnam, Angola boost NA cooperation
(VOV) - Vietnamese and Angolan National Assemblies (NA) should promote cooperation by exchanging delegations, sharing experience between NA committees and establishing a parliamentary friendship group.
President of the Angolan National Assembly (NA) Fernando da Piedade Dias Santos made the statement while receiving Vietnamese ambassador to Angola Do Ba Khoa on January 16.
The Angolan chief legislator said both nations share similarities in their struggles for national independence and reconstruction, shifting to a market economy and achieving numerous socio-economic goals.
The time-honoured friendship and solidarity and the historical and effective cooperation between the two countries have laid a solid foundation for increasing bilateral cooperation in politics, economics, science and technology and agriculture, said Fernando.
He also added that both sides need to tap their full potential and asked Vietnam to help Angola with rice and rubber production and the training of agricultural experts.
