At the event, which took place on the sidelines of the 6th World Conference of Speakers of Parliament at the UN headquarters, the Vietnamese top legislator expressed his delight at the robust development of the bilateral relations over the recent past, particularly the close cooperation between the two legislatures.
NA Chairman Man suggested both sides enhance the exchange of delegations and meetings at all levels, while maintaining and improving the efficacy of cooperation mechanisms to promote discussions as well as information and experience sharing in the areas where both sides hold strengths, making parliamentary collaboration an important pillar of the bilateral ties.

The Cuban leader, for his part, affirmed that the traditional solidarity and special friendship between the two sides have been continuously consolidated and expanded via Party, State, and parliamentary channels, noting deep and practical cooperation across the domains of politics, economy, trade, security, defence, and technical sciences.
He took this occasion to thank the Vietnamese Party, State and NA for their valuable support for Cuba, affirming the Latin American country is committed to boosting economic cooperation and stands ready to work with Viet Nam to resolve difficulties faced by Vietnamese investors in the country.
The two leaders concurred to closely coordinate in implementing measures to strengthen the bilateral ties, including a series of activities to celebrate the 65th founding anniversary of Viet Nam–Cuba diplomatic relations this year. They also pledged to continue coordination and mutual support at international organisations and multilateral forums.
