HÀ NỘI — Politburo member and National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân reaffirmed the Vietnamese Party and State’s consistent policy of supporting constitutional and democratic process in Venezuela, while hosting a reception in Hà Nội on Monday for visiting First Vice President of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) Diosdado Cabello.

Ngân welcomed the visit at a time when the two countries are celebrating the 30th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties, believing that it will further deepen friendship and co-operation between the two Parties and countries.

She said she believes that under the leadership of President Nicolas Maduro, the fraternal Venezuelan people will successfully realise late President Hugo Chavez’s last wishes, overcome challenges and carry the country forward.

The host affirmed that Việt Nam is willing to share experience in socio-economic development, especially in agricultural production, with Venezuela.

Cabello, for his part, said he is moved at visiting Việt Nam on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of President Hồ Chí Minh’s Testament and the 50th death anniversary of the President.

He expressed wishes to step up traditional friendship with Việt Nam to share experience, particularly in Party building, socio-economic development, agricultural production and poverty reduction.

The guest stressed that under the leadership of the PSUV headed by its President and State President Maduro, the armed forces-people solidarity bloc founded by late President Chavez over the past more than two decades will be strengthened, serving as a solid bastion for Venezuela to overcome challenges and gradually spoil the plots of causing unrest to the country.

Earlier, Cabello held talks with Politburo member and permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Trần Quốc Vượng, during which both sides informed each other of the situation in each Party and nation, discussed issues of shared concern, towards expanding ties between the two Parties in the near future.

While in Việt Nam, the delegation paid tribute to President Hồ Chí Minh at his mausoleum, held working sessions with the foreign ministry, the Hồ Chí Minh National Academy of Politics, the Việt Nam Union of Friendship Organisations, the Việt Nam-Venezuela Friendship Association, and the Field Crops Research Institute, and learned about an agricultural development model in Hải Dương Province in northern Việt Nam. — VNS
