A delegation of the Vietnamese National Assembly (NA) led by Vice Chairman Nguyen Duc Hai paid a working visit to Cuba from September 21-27 to concretise the protocol on cooperation between the two parliaments.

Authorised by NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man, Hai co-chaired the first meeting of the Vietnam-Cuba Inter-parliamentary Cooperation with President of the National Assembly of People’s Power of Cuba Esteban Lazo Hernández.
