NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue arrived at Jose Marti, airport in Havana on April 18 afternoon (local time), starting his official visit to Cuba.
The Vietnamese NA delegation was welcomed by Deputy President of the National Assembly of People's Power of Cuba, Ana Maria Mari Machado, and Vietnamese Ambassador to Vietnam Le Thanh Tung, among others.
The visit takes place on the occasion of the two countries celebrating their major events such as the 60th anniversary of Cuba's establishment of the Committee for Solidarity with South Vietnam, the 50th anniversary of Cuban leader Fidel Castro Ruz's first visit to Vietnam, and of the liberated zone in South Vietnam when the war was going on.
Chairman Hue’s official visit to Cuba is the highest-level trip of a Vietnamese leader to Cuba as well as to Latin America in 2023. Chairman Hue is also the first foreign leader to visit the Caribbean nation after Cuba’s new legislative body was set up.
The visit reaffirms that Vietnam always attaches importance to consolidating and strengthening special solidarity and loyal friendship with Cuba, and fostering cooperation between the two legislatures as well as the bilateral partnership in all fields./.
