Party delegation visits Venezuela to boost bilateral ties
VOV.VN - A Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) delegation led by Nguyen Lam, vice chairman of the CPV Central Committee’s Commission for Mass Mobilisation, is paying a working visit to Venezuela from July 19 to July 23.
During the course of trip, the delegation made a courtesy call on First Vice President of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) Diosdado Cabello Rondon, held talks with PSUV Vice President of Mobilisation and Events Nahum Fernandez, and had a working session with Minister of Communities and Social Movements Jorge Arreaza.
These events served as a platform for Lam to state that the CPV delegation’s visit aims to enhance the friendship and co-operation that exists between the CPV and the PSUV, thereby helping to further reinforce the traditional friendship and comprehensive partnership across multiple aspects between the two countries.
He hailed the solidarity and support that the people and progressive forces of Venezuela have given to the Vietnamese side during the struggles for national liberation and reunification in the past, as well as the process of national development at present.
The official went on to voice his hope that the two sides will increase all-level mutual visits and maintain mechanisms and agreements like the political consultation between the two foreign ministries and the Inter-Government Committee to bolster all-around ties. This is along with keep expanding relations in such fields as culture, education and sports whilst co-ordinating closely and offering to support each other at international forums.
Welcoming the CPV delegation, the PSUV leaders said the visit and other delegation exchanges will help to further strengthen the positive ties between the two ruling parties and the Venezuela-Vietnam comprehensive partnership.
PSUV First Vice President Diosdado Cabello stressed that Vietnam has been and will remain an example for Venezuela and the PSUV to follow, affirming the importance his country has attached to the traditional relationship and comprehensive partnership with the nation.
He voiced his hope that as the two ruling parties, the PSUV and the CPV will continue intensifying exchange visits at all levels, especially high-level ones.
Aside from strengthening the exchange of experience in terms of Party building, state management, and mass mobilisation, the two sides should expand connections in economics, trade, and investment, especially in the fields they have strengths in and potential for, such as oil and gas, agriculture, and trade, Cabello suggested.
During the visit, the CPV delegation laid wreaths at the monument dedicated to President Ho Chi Minh in Caracas at a ceremony that was also joined by leaders and members of the PSUV and other parties in the ruling alliance.
They also visited some PSUV agencies in the Venezuelan capital and met with Vietnamese Embassy staff and people residing in the city.
