The visits, from April 18-28, were made at the invitation of President of the National Assembly of People's Power of Cuba Esteban Lazo Hernandez, President of the Chamber of Deputies of Argentina Cecilia Moreau, and Speaker of the Senate of Uruguay Beatriz Argimon Cedeira.

The trip featured nearly 80 activities of the Vietnamese top legislator, some 40 of ministries, agencies and localities, and about 30 cooperation agreements, at both central and local levels, signed.

It reaped practical, comprehensive results in all the channels of Party, legislature, government and people-to-people exchange, and all pillars of relations, helping open up new opportunities for Vietnam and its partners to foster effective, substantive and mutually beneficial cooperation.

The trip was a great success as it helped increase political trust, opening up new opportunities to strengthen effective, substantive, mutually beneficial cooperation between Vietnam and the three countries, Vietnam and the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), Southeast Asia and Latin America, and within multinational forums such as South-South cooperation.

During talks and meetings, leaders of the countries highly appreciated Vietnam’s increasing role and position in the region and the world. The Cuban side wished to continue to strengthen its special relationship with Vietnam, while Argentine leaders affirmed that Vietnam is a strategic partner for Argentina. The Uruguayan side said they consider Vietnam an important partner in the Asia-Pacific region and a bridge to connect Uruguay with Southeast Asia.

The three countries all wished to coordinate with Vietnam in international and regional forums to address current global challenges such as maintaining peace and stability, respecting international law, resolving conflicts through negotiation, ensuring food security, energy security, health security, and responding to climate change.

The trip was also an opportunity for the top Vietnamese legislator to exchange and convey messages about Vietnam’s stance on a number of regional and international issues of mutual concern.

During the tour, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue signed cooperation documents with legislative leaders of the three countries, affirming their desires to strengthen cooperation through the parliamentary channel.

The trip materialized the foreign policy set at the 13th National Party Congress that is enhancing relations with traditional Latin American friends, including Cuba, Argentina, and Uruguay.
