Hanoi, Apr 17 (Prensa Latina) The visit to Cuba by Vietnamese Parliament Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue is highly welcomed by that country's leaders, Vu Hai Ha, Chairman of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Committee, said in this capital on Monday.

Hai Ha said the trip by the head of the Vietnamese parliament will take place from April 18 to the 23rd., after Cuba successfully held general elections to integrate the 10th National Assembly, defined the new leadership of that body, and elected the State Council’s members, according to the Constitution.

As “an extraordinary action that shows the importance of the relations between the two countries and the two National Assemblies, he described that Dinh Hue was the first foreign leader invited to speak at the opening session of Cuba’s highest body.

The Vietnamese Parliament chairperson will deliver a speech to reaffirm Vietnam’s solidarity with the Cuban people and support for updating the economic model, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee predicted.

He also noted that Dinh Hue’s visit comes at a time when both countries are celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Committee for Solidarity with South Vietnam and the 50th anniversary of the first visit of the historic leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, to Vietnam and to the liberated zone in South Vietnam.

Havana and Hanoi established diplomatic relations in 1960 and supported each other in the struggle for national liberation. Hai Ha recalled the words of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro when he affirmed, “For Vietnam, we are willing to give our own blood.”
