HÀ NỘI – Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân expressed her admiration at the will and resilience of Cuban people in protecting revolutionary accomplishments while receiving President of the Cuban Committee for the Defence of the Revolution Carlos Rafael Miranda Martinez in Hà Nội yesterday.

She said despite economic difficulties, Cuba gained remarkable achievements in culture, education and healthcare. 

While congratulating Cuba on its socio-economic development achievements, Ngân said she was glad that the brotherhood, comprehensive cooperation, and mutual trust between the two countries’ Parties, States, parliaments and peoples had been continuously reinforced and developed in all fields.

The Vietnamese Party, State and people always attached great importance to the valuable support of the Cuban counterparts in the past as well as at present.

"Việt Nam is always a faithful comrade, friend and brother standing side by side with Cuba," the top legislator said.

The Cuban official expressed his pleasure at the success of the earlier talks with President of the Việt Nam Fatherland Front Central Committee Trần Thanh Mẫn during his working visit to Vietnam, describing this as a practical activity to mark the 60th anniversary of the Việt Nam-Cuba diplomatic ties in 2020 (December 2). 

Chairwoman Ngân welcomed the outcomes of the talks and said the National Assembly of Việt Nam was willing to send delegations to visit and work in Cuba to exchange and learn experience, contributing to reinforcing the bilateral friendship and solidarity over the past 60 years.-VNS
