On behalf of the Vietnamese NA, Vietnamese Ambassador to Cuba Le Thanh Tung presented over 750 tablets, two servers and two printers to the Cuban side.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, the Vietnamese Ambassador said the equipment is intended to help the Cuban legislature improve its operational efficiency. He also expressed solidarity with the Cuban people over the fire at a fuel depot in Matanzas City and offered his condolences to the families of the victims of the accident.

Appreciating Vietnam's warm affection and precious help, President of the National Assembly of People’s Power of Cuba Esteban Lazo Hernández asked the Ambassador to convey a thank-you letter to Chairman of Vietnamese NA Vuong Dinh Hue.

Meanwhile, Secretary of the National Assembly of the People’s Power and the Council of State of Cuba Homero Acosta Álvarez emphasised that this is not the first time the Vietnamese NA has presented equipment to Cuba.

Previously, Vietnam has helped the Cuban legislature with security camera systems and other information equipment.

Vietnam was one of the first countries to send a message of solidarity to Cuba after the blaze occurred at a fuel depot in the city of Matanzas, which reflects the fraternity between the two countries, he added.
