Vietnam attends first congress of Italian Communist Party
A Vietnamese delegation led by Cao Chi Thien, Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)’s organisation in Italy and Ambassador to the country, attended the first Congress of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) in the central city of Orvieto last weekend.
He expressed his hope that the relationship will continue to be consolidated and fostered in the future.
As the left-wing movement and the communist party in particular in Italy are facing numerous difficulties, the congress offered a chance for PCI members to discuss the prospects and challenges to the communism and major issues in Italy, the region and the world at large.
The event approved a 54-page political document on the discussed issues and elected Mauro Alboresi as General Secretary of the party.
This was the first congress since the Italian communists renamed their party from the Party of the Italian Communists (PDCI) to the Italian Communist Party (PCI) in 2014.
