He hailed the outcomes of the talks between the Cuban top legislator and Vietnamese National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, and hoped the two parliaments will consolidate ties on both bilateral and multilateral aspects.
Vietnam is willing to share experience in reform and do its utmost to support Cuban people to overcome difficulties and challenges, Quang said.
He recognised the effective cooperation mechanisms between the two countries such as the Parties’ theoretical workshop, the inter-governmental committee’s meeting, the deputy foreign ministers’ political consultation, and the deputy defence ministers’ strategic dialogue.
The two countries could tap huge potential in economic, trade, and investment cooperation, he said, adding that more Vietnamese businesses are eyeing the Cuban market.
The President showed his delight at close bilateral coordination and mutual assistance at multilateral forums and international organizations, especially at the United Nations.
Vietnam pursues persistent stance of supporting the early removal of embargo against Cuba, he said.
Esteban Lazo Hernandez said Vietnam has a plenty of experience in agriculture and energy.
This is the proper time for the two countries to bring their cooperative relations into reality, he added.
The same day, the Cuban top legislator and his entourage visited the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics.
