The delegation was received in Hanoi on December 18 by Tran Quoc Vuong, Politburo member and standing member of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee’s Secretariat.

At the reception, U Than Htay informed his host about the outcomes of talks between the USDP and CPV delegations.

He also noted with pleasure the fine development of the relationship between the two Parties, States, and peoples, stressing that the USDP will do its utmost to continue enhancing the bilateral ties, including support for Vietnamese firms’ business and investment activities in Myanmar.

Vuong said the USDP visit takes place at a time after the two countries have set up their comprehensive cooperative partnership during General Secretary of the CPV Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong’s visit to Myanmar in August 2017. He expressed his belief that it will practically contribute to fostering the friendship between the two parties and states.

As Vietnam and Myanmar share many similarities and boast long-lasting relations, they should continue to step up collaboration and experience-sharing in national construction and development, especially in economic development, he said.

Earlier, the CPV delegation led by Hoang Binh Quan, member of the CPV Central Committee and head of the committee’s Commission for External Relations, held talks with USDP guests.

The two sides informed each other about the situation of their respective parties and the socio-economic development of their countries; discussed measures to solidify the relations between the two parties and states in the future; and shared views on regional and international issues of mutual concern.
