Vietnamese leader To Lam makes a call at Vietnamese Embassy in Havana
VOV.VN - Party General Secretary and State President To Lam made a call at the headquarters of the Vietnamese Embassy in Havana on September 26 as part of his ongoing state visit to Cuba, where he met with staff members of the Embassy and representatives from the Vietnamese community in the Caribbean state.
He praised the embassy and representative agencies for carrying out the tasks assigned by the Party and the State, contributing to the development of Cuba and the relations between the two countries.
He recalled the traditional, heartfelt relationship between Vietnam and Cuba over nearly 65 years nurtured by President Ho Chi Minh, leader Fidel Castro, and successive generations of leaders of both countries, saying that special relationship should be preserved and promoted for future generations.
It is the responsibility of Vietnam to support Cuba as well as the progressive movement in the world, which is also the wish of President Ho Chi Minh, said To Lam.
According to the leader, the traditional solidarity and the comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Cuba has constantly been strengthened across all fields, and his visit shows that the Party, State and people of Vietnam attach importance to and wish to elevate the Vietnam-Cuba relationship in the new period.
He informed the Vietnamese community on the situation in the home country, and stressed that the Party is conducting a review in both theory and practices of the 40 years implementing Doi Moi (renewal), which will serve the development of the theory on Doi Moi and the path to socialism in Vietnam. The review will be the foundation to outline major guidelines and policies for the country’s new strategic development phase ahead, he said.
The leader expressed his wish that Vietnamese, wherever they live, will uphold national tradition and unity, support each other and contribute to the special friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and Cuba.
He urged the Vietnamese Embassy and other Vietnamese representative missions in Cuba to work harder in their role as the bridge in bilateral ties, promoting the implementation of bilateral agreements and commitments thus taking the Vietnam-Cuba relationship to a new phase.
