Morales expressed his pleasure in welcoming the Vietnamese delegation, noting that the visit would help consolidate the bonds of friendship and solidarity between the two parties—bonds originally forged by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, and Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh.

In this regard, he explained that the Cuban Central Committee is currently engaged in an exchange process with various central state administrative bodies to evaluate the role of party structures in supporting the country’s economic and social transformations.

As part of this initiative, visits have already been conducted at six state agencies, with a new round of discussions beginning this Thursday at the Ministry of Transport.

Members of the Vietnamese delegation expressed their gratitude for the warm reception and shared insights regarding the organization and functioning of party structures, in an exchange aimed at fostering mutual understanding and strengthening cooperation.

Also participating on the Cuban side were Yuniasky Crespo, Head of the Central Committee’s Ideological Department, and Emilio Lozada, Head of the Department of International Relations, alongside other leaders and officials.
