He thanked Miguel Diaz-Canel for inviting him to pay a state visit to Cuba, and expressed his hope that the visit will contribute to consolidating trust and tightening solidarity between the two nations, raising cooperation efficiency, and advancing the Vietnam-Cuba ties to a new period, with practical and sustainable development.

For his part, the ambassador affirmed that the Cuban Party, State, and people always keep a close watch on and highly value Vietnam’s reform achievements over the past nearly 40 years, as well as its experience in socio-economic development, external relation expansion, and international integration.

He said the visit by Lam, his spouse, and a high-ranking delegation of Vietnam is anticipated in Cuba, stressing it also demonstrates Cuban high-ranking leaders’ will and readiness to constantly consolidate and strengthen the relations.
