VOV.VN - Vietnam and Cuba have agreed to officially establish an inter-parliamentary cooperation mechanism between their legislatures.
A document to this effect was signed in Havana on April 20 evening (Cuba time) by Esteban Lazo Hernandez, president of the National Assembly of People's Power of Cuba, and Vuong Dinh Hue, chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam.
The two sides agreed to strengthen cooperation, focusing on increasing the exchange of delegations and promoting activities to develop relations in all fields, especially in politics - diplomacy, economy, trade, finance, and socio-culture.
They will increase experience sharing and enhance relations through activities of friendly parliamentary groups, strengthen connections with friendly parliamentary groups in Asia and Latin America, consult and coordinate positions on issues of mutual concern at international parliamentary organizations.
They will work closely together to supervise the implementation of international treaties and bilateral international agreements that the two countries have signed, periodically exchange information, develop human resources through the exchange of experiences in all possible forms, and promote solidarity among the parties.
The two sides will hold high-level bilateral inter-parliamentary meetings chaired by the heads of deputy heads of their legislatures every two years alternately at the headquarters of each side. They will periodically organize online or face-to-face meetings between their legislative committees.
Before participating in international inter-parliamentary multilateral forums, the two sides will exchange views in order to coordinate activities and discuss issues of mutual concern.
Hue is leading a high-ranking delegation of the National Assembly of Vietnam on an official visit to Cuba.
