The Venezuela-Vietnam Parliamentary
Friendship Group (VVPFG) debuted on October 30, with the aim of
fostering the friendship and cooperation relations between the two
countries.
Addressing the ceremony, President of
the Venezuelan National Assembly’s Committee for Foreign Affairs,
Sovereignty and Integration Yul Jabour highlighted the fruitful
cooperation between Vietnam and Venezuela.
The
long-nurtured relationship was strengthened since the late President
Hugo Chávez took his seat in 1999, said Jabour, adding that the two
countries have signed 10 agreements on energy, education, technology and
tourism.
VVPFG Chairman Oscar Figuera, who is also
General Secretary of the Communist Party of Venezuela, affirmed that the
establishment of the group will further Vietnam-Venezuela ties.
