Havana (VNA) – Party General Secretary and President To Lam and his spouse have extended their 🎉deepest gratitude to First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee and President of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez and his spouse in a message following his state visit to Cuba.
The message also extended thanks to Revolutionary Leader Gen. Raúl Castro Ruz, as well as Cuban Party and State leaders and people for their profound friendship and warm hospitality during his three-day visit that concluded on September 27.
Lam described Cuba as a beautiful and heroic nation, noting that the warmth and hospitality of the Cuban people had left a deeply profound and close impression on him, his spouse, and the Vietnamese delegation.
He wrote that his first visit to Cuba in the new capacity is a continuation of the Vietnamese Party and State's policy of prioritising Vietnam-Cuba ties, a commitment upheld by generations of Vietnamese leaders, especially late Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
He and the high-ranking Vietnamese Party and State delegation were extremely pleased with the substantive and meaningful outcomes of this visit, especially the discussions with Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, the talks between high-ranking delegations of both parties and states, and his meetings with Revolutionary Leader Gen. Raúl Castro, President of the National Assembly of People's Power Esteban Lazo Hernández, and Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz.
The meetings with Cuban people and youth of both countries once again demonstrated the noble revolutionary ideal and the deep understanding and shared experiences between the two countries' people, fostering strong ties over more than 64 years of shared ups and downs in history, he wrote.
The top leader said he firmly believes that the strong consensus between Vietnamese and Cuban leaders during this visit will play a decisive role in strengthening political trust and strategic coordination, and promoting more effective and comprehensive cooperation across all key pillars and areas.
The consensus also demonstrates the resolute determination of the countries’ Party and State leaders to work and move forward together, bringing the bilateral traditional solidarity, special friendship, and comprehensive cooperation into a new phase of substantive and sustainable development, for the sake of their people and for peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the regions and the world.
He wished First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) Central Committee and President of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez and his spouse, Cuban revolutionary leader General Raúl Castro Ruz, and leaders of the Cuban Party and State good health, happiness, and more important successes.
The leader expressed his hope that the traditional solidarity, special friendship, and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Cuba would continue to thrive./.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.
The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.
Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the Central Public Security Party Committee must be fully aware of the extremely important role of the People's Public Security force in the country's new revolutionary phase, so as to guide each branch and level of the force as the nation undergoes transformation.
Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
