NA Chairwoman welcomes Cuban supreme procuracy leader

The top Vietnamese legislator applauded Cuba’s achievements in health, education and bio-technology, among others while emphasizing that despite global changes over the past six decades, both nations have stood side by side in their national construction and development. 

Ngan voiced Vietnam’s support for the cooperation between the two procuracies, saying that as Cuba has a new constitution, it is practical for the agencies to exchange experience and cooperate concerning the role of the supreme procuracy in constitution implementation and protection of the law.

She said she hopes joint programs between the two procuracies will be effective as a contribution to fostering Vietnam – Cuba ties.

In reply, Yamila Pena Ojeda briefed her host on the working session with the Supreme People’s Procuracy of Vietnam, saying the two agencies’ fruitful cooperation for years has produced practical and effective outcomes.

Cuba is carrying out its new constitution, with the Supreme People’s Procuracy playing an important role in fine-tuning the legal system, she said.

Vietnam and Cuba have cooperated in a multitude of fields, maintained delegation exchanges and regular meetings between their ministries and sectors, and offered mutual support at multilateral forums and international conferences.

Bilateral trade has seen constant growth with US$335.8 million recorded in 2018, while the operation of joint projects on agriculture, construction and health has proved effective.
