HÀ NỘI — Vietnamese Ambassador to Argentina and Uruguay Ngô Minh Nguyệt recently met in Montevideo with Juan Castillo, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uruguay (PCU) and Uruguay's Minister of Labour, to advance bilateral cooperation and discuss ties between the two communist parties.

At the meeting, Nguyệt briefed Castillo on the outcomes of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Việt Nam (CPV), as well as Việt Nam's political and economic situation, foreign policy and development orientation in the period ahead.

For his part, Castillo congratulated Việt Nam on the success of the 14th National Party Congress and reaffirmed his commitment to communist and socialist ideals. He also affirmed a policy of peace and friendship, along with coordination with leftist political parties worldwide to tackle common challenges.

Castillo expressed his wish to strengthen cooperation with the CPV, focusing on fostering the exchanges of information and theory. He also said he hopes to access documents and resolutions from the 14th Congress in Spanish or English, as well as materials on Việt Nam's development theory and practice.

According to Castillo, the PCU is ready to coordinate and share materials to support the development of the Communist Party of Việt Nam Museum. A photo archive centre in Montevideo currently stores many valuable images and materials on Việt Nam and is expected to support information exchange between the two sides.

Regarding activities honouring President Hồ Chí Minh in Uruguay, Castillo said a book titled Selected Works of President Hồ Chí Minh, compiled by the PCU, has been published and has drawn wide public interest. He added that leftist groups in Uruguay are coordinating on a project to build a statue of President Hồ Chí Minh in Montevideo.

Castillo also expressed his desire to boost coordination with Vietnamese institutions such as the Party Central Committee's Commission for Information, Education, and Mass Mobilisation and Tạp chí Cộng sản (Communist Review) to compile and publish additional research materials, contributing to greater public understanding of Việt Nam and President Hồ Chí Minh. — VNA/VNS
