The Cuban leader spoke highly of PM Dung’s visit, saying it provides a good chance for the two countries to figure out orientations for advancement of the bilateral ties.

Both sides discussed measures to continue beefing up the relations, especially the consultation and coordination between the Parties, Governments and people of the two countries.

Mr. Miguel Diaz Canel Bermudez hoped that Viet Nam would continue to help Cuba develop agriculture.
