Vietnam, Cuba keen to further bilateral cooperation

Vietnam and Cuba will further strengthen cooperation in agriculture, oil and gas, telecommunications and healthcare. This was agreed by Deputy Foreign Minster Pham Binh Minh and his Cuban counterpart Marcos Rodriguez Costa at their talks in Hanoi on October 25.

The two diplomats expressed their delight at the fine development of bilateral relations as well as the need to promote exchange visits between the two countries’ leaders.

They praised the success of the 28th meeting of the Vietnam-Cuba Joint inter-Governmental Committee in September in Cuba which helped enhance cooperation in various fields.

The Cuban Deputy FM praised Vietnam’s valuable assistance and support for Cuban people during their war time, describing it as a firm foundation for the two countries to further develop their ties in the future.

Mr Marcos reiterated that his visit to Vietnam aimed to further promote Vietnam-Cuba relations and hoped that economic and trade ties will be expanded, especially in construction and oil and gas exploitation. – VOV
