The diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Cuba are one of the special and rare relationships in the world, built on the foundation of solidarity, loyal friendship, and sharing in even the most difficult times. The loyal and pure solidarity between the two peoples was painstakingly cultivated by President Ho Chi Minh and leader Fidel Castro, becoming an exemplary symbol of international relations. The Vietnamese people will always remember the sentiments and wholehearted support that Cuba has given to Vietnam during the arduous years of resistance, as well as in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland today.

In the area, there are currently 904 foreign investment projects from countries and territories such as: Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan (China), Hong Kong (China), the United States..., with a total registered capital of 16.2 billion USD.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee hopes that through the visit and work of the Cuban National Assembly Chairman, it will contribute to enhancing understanding, further tightening the brotherly solidarity, and at the same time opening up practical cooperation opportunities between Hung Yen province and Cuban localities in the fields such as: health, education - training, high-tech agriculture, processing industry, culture - tourism...
