During his three-day trip from Saturday to Tuesday, President Phuc held high-level meetings with leaders of the Cuban Party and State and attended a number of activities to boost friendship and solidarity.

The two Presidents witnessed the signing of a number of cooperation agreements between the two countries’ ministries, sectors and businesses, including an implementation plan for the mid-term economic development agenda, and cooperation deals on judiciary, healthcare, fisheries, agriculture, cyber security, green energy, and hotel construction.

The two sides agreed to create favorable conditions for rice, corn, coffee, and fisheries production projects in Cuba, and boost bilateral cooperation in culture, IT, sports, tourism, and education.

On behalf of the Party and State leaders and the people of Cuba, President Miguel Diaz Canel presented the Vietnamese State leader with the José Marti Order, the noblest reward of the Cuban State, in recognition of President Phuc’s contributions to the enhancement of solidarity, friendship and cooperation between the two Parties, States and peoples.

President Phuc's official visit to Cuba demonstrated Vietnam’s respect and determination to continue strengthening and deepening the time-honoured solidarity, comprehensive cooperation, and mutual trust between the two Parties, States and peoples, and strongly reaffirmed Vietnam's solidarity and consistent support for the just revolutionary cause of the Cuban people.
