The organisation of such kind of symposium is vivid evidence of the exemplary, faithful, and pure solidarity between Vietnam and Cuba, he noted.
For his part, Politburo member Roberto Morales Ojeda underscored that that the two Parties highly agree on the urgent need to continue strengthening political and ideological consensus and selectively absorb international experience in combination with fundamental ideology of each country.
At the symposium, delegates, theorists and ideologists of the two Parties presented speeches and exchanged opinions on building and developing Party organisations in economic sectors; developing a contingent of cadres, especially strategic ones; the work of political and ideological education among youths; strengthening communication governance; ensuring security and safety in cyberspace; and building Vietnam's socialist-oriented market economy and updating Cuba's socio-economic model.
