The Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) wishes to foster friendship and
cooperation with political parties, including the ruling, communist, and
left-wing parties in Myanmar, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, for increased
ties, especially in economy, trade, investment, culture, and education
with the three countries.
The wish was delivered by a delegation
from the CPV Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations, led
by Deputy Head Nguyen Huy Tang, during their working visits to Myanmar, Thailand, and Sri Lanka from April 6-14.
While there, the Vietnamese delegation met with the foreign deputy
ministers, leaders of political parties, and other high-ranking
officials of the three countries.
Tang briefed the
hosts with the current situation in Vietnam and in the CPV as well
as policies and measures the country is embarking on to boost economic
growth, Party building, and external policies and guidelines.
The
guests and hosts discussed in a straightforward and open manner
specific measures to strengthen bilateral ties between Vietnam and
the three countries.
The leaders of such parties as
the Union Solidarity and Development Party of Myanmar, the Democrat
Party of Thailand, the For Thais Party, the Communist Party and the Freedom Party of Sri Lanka, expressed their hopes to increase
delegation exchanges, share leading and management experience, and
exchange information and views on national, regional, and global issues
of common concern.
The leaders of Sri Lanka’s
parties, in particular, wished to further consolidate their ties with
the CPV to create a firm political foundation for the stronger
relationship between the two countries.-VNA
