A high-ranking delegation from the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF)
Central Committee paid a working visit to France from June 26-29 to seek
ways to strengthen friendship and all-round cooperation between the two
countries.
During their stay, the delegation, led
by President Huynh Dam, worked with leaders of the Communist Party of
France (PCF) and the Union of Overseas Vietnamese in France (UGFV).
The French side pledged to continue supporting the
Vietnamese community in France and to work with Vietnam to
successfully organise celebrations for the 40 th anniversary of
diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Working
with the PCF representatives, Dam said Vietnam appreciates the
invaluable support shown by French people, and the PCF in particular,
for the country during its struggle for independence and subsequent
national construction.
Vietnam always treasure the traditional ties with the PCF, he stressed.
Isabella de Ameida, Chairwoman of the French Council of State and a
member of the PCF Politburo said her party is interested in organising
regular theoretical seminars between the two parties. She said this
will allow both sides to exchange opinions and seek measures to overcome
common challenges, such as unemployment, poverty, unfair competition
and climate change.
During his meeting with
representatives from the UGFV, Dam declared that the union is always an
indispensable group of the Vietnamese people. He encouraged Vietnamese
nationals to strengthen unity and continue making contributions to their
homeland.-VNA
