The special envoy of Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has emphasised Vietnam’s consistent and top priority policy to enhance solidarity, friendship and comprehensive cooperation with Cuba.

Special envoy Hoang Binh Quan, who is also member of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC) and Head of the CPVCC Commission for External Relations, made the statement at the talks with Politburo member and Vice President of the Council of State of Cuba Esteban Lazo Hernandez in Havana on Feb. 24.

Quan provided Cuban leaders with detailed results of the 11th National CPV Congress, the core content of documents adopted at the congress as well as Vietnam’s experiences and important achievements in the socialist construction and national defence over the 25 years of renewal, 20 years of implementing the Party Platform in 1991, 10 years of implementing the 2001-2010 socio-economic development strategy and five years of implementing the 10th National Party Congress Resolution.

He also briefed the hosts on orientations and targets to make Vietnam basically become a modern-oriented industrialised country, a prosperous people, a strong nation and a democratic, just and civilised society to firmly advance toward socialism by 2020.

The special envoy expressed his delight at the achievements recorded by the Cuban people under the leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba (CPC) led by Fidel Castro and Raul Castro in construction and defence of their socialist country.

He said he believed that the upcoming 6th Cuban Party Congress will be a success.

E. L. Hernandez expressed his thanks to Party General Secretary Trong for sending his special envoy to promptly inform Cuban Party leaders of the results of the 11th National CPV Congress which, he said, reflects the trust between the two Parties.

Despite hostile forces’ recent sabotage, the relationship between the two Parties and States has been constantly consolidated and developed in depth and width, he stressed.

He affirmed that the Cuban Party, State and people will join the Vietnamese Party, State and people in bringing further sustainable development to the two countries’ relationship for the two peoples’ interest and for peace and stability in the world.

Also on Feb. 24, Quan had a detailed discussion with Vice President of the Cuban Council of Ministers, Ricardo Cabrisas on a number of contents of Vietnam’s socio-economic development strategy for the 2011-2020 period and orientations for the development of the two countries’ economic ties.

While in Cuba, special envoy Quan will have working sessions with the CPCCC Commission for Organisation on Vietnam’s experiences in organising the 11th National CPV Congress and Cuba’s preparations for its 6th Party Congress, as well as with the CPCCC Commission for External Relations on orientations to boost the relationship between the two Parties and commissions.
