HA NOI (VNS)— National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung yesterday pledged close co-operation with Thailand in a bid to strengthen ties between the legislative bodies of both countries.
Hosting a reception for the Chairman of the Thailand-Viet Nam Parliamentary Friendship Group, Paijit Srenwarakan, Hung praised the outcomes of the Parliamentary Friendship Groups of Thailand and Viet Nam.
Hung also described the new Strategic Partnership between the two countries as important for the region and in the interests of both countries.
The partnership was recently established during a visit to Thailand by Vietnamese Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
The NA Chairman urged the parliamentary friendship groups to work closely in legislating their commitments under the new Strategic Partnership.
Hung also extended an invitation to the Speaker of the Thai Upper House to attend the General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Viet Nam in 2015.
Paijit Srenwarakan mirrored the NA Chairman’s hopes and affirmed that strengthening ties and providing favourable conditions for Vietnamese investors, was consistently supported by the Thai Parliament.
Chairman Hung also hosted a reception for outgoing Cuban Ambassador to Viet Nam, Fresdesman Turro Gonzales, praising the ambassador for his contribution to the Viet Nam-Cuba relationship, and his achievements in diplomacy, economics and health care.
Hung emphasised the traditional friendship and solidarity between Viet Nam and Cuba, nurtured by generations of leaders from both countries.
Applauding the social and economic achievements of the Cuban government, the NA leader voiced hopes the two sides would boost co-operation in the areas of economics, trade and investment.
He requested the Cuban government to favour Vietnamese investors and expressed his hope that the ambassador would continue his positive role in the development of bilateral ties.
During recent years, Viet Nam and Cuba have co-operated on regional matters and those concerning the international community.
In a thank you speech, the diplomat praised the NA Chairman and the Vietnamese government for their support and pledged his commitment to Viet Nam-Cuba relations. — VNS
