Mr. Trong made the call while receiving Ramon Pez Ferro, President of the Cuban National Assembly’s Commission for Foreign Relations in Hanoi on April 5.

The chairman proposed that the two legislatures and their commissions for external relations promote the exchange information and experience in law-making and supervision, as well as coordination and mutual support at regional and international inter-parliamentary forums.

The same day, Pez Ferro held talks with his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Van Son, during which they informed each other about the situation in their respective countries and the activities of the two legislative agencies.

The legislators discussed the joint organisation of celebrations for the 50^th anniversary of Vietnam-Cuba diplomatic ties, especially in educating the two countries’ younger generations about their time-honoured relations.

They also agreed to boost the exchange of visits by parliamentary bodies and encourage ministries, sectors and businesses to further step up cooperation to develop the Vietnam-Cuba relationship.
