29/09/2009Officials from Laos, China, Cuba and Cambodia have shared joy, warm sentiments and durable friendship with their Vietnamese counterparts while attending the seventh National VFF Congress.
At the congress of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF), which opened in Hanoi on Sept. 28, a delegation from the Lao Front for National Construction, headed by its Chairman Sisavath Keobounphanh, hailed the VFF’s recent major changes and its achievements, particularly in uniting the entire people and calling for support from social organisations and overseas Vietnamese.
The VFF has taken an active part and obtained encouraging results in the country’s hunger elimination and poverty reduction programmes, said the Lao officials.
In terms of people-to-people diplomacy, the VFF has gained backing and cooperation from similar fronts in friendly nations and social organisations in the region and the world.
On this occasion, the Lao Party, State and Front presented a Gold Order, Laos’ highest order, on the VFF in recognition of its exceptional record of achievement.
Whilst addressing the event, Vice Chairwoman of the China People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee Zhang Rongming said the VFF is a united front organisation that has upheld its critical role in Vietnam’s political life.
Zhang said China and Vietnam have enjoyed a time-honoured friendship which was built by the two countries’ Parties, States and peoples during their long-term revolutionary struggles.
With the concerted efforts of generations, the China-Vietnam traditional friendship, founded and nurtured by President Mao Zedong and President Ho Chi Minh, entered a new stage of comprehensive friendly cooperation, she said.
Senior leaders from the two Parties and States have held regular meetings and visits. Also, friendly exchanges and cooperative ties for mutual benefit in various areas have seen rapid development, the Chinese official elaborated.
Officials from the Committee for the Defence of the Cuban Revolution said the VFF’s 7th congress constituted a milestone in gathering together all patriotic forces, with the aim of uniting the entire people and firmly protecting national independence and unification as well as striving for the target of a rich people, a strong country and an equitable, democratic and civilised society.
Min Khin, Vice President and General Secretary of the National Council of the Solidarity Front for the Development of the Cambodian Motherland, said his delegation expected to learn from the VFF’s experiences in mass mobilisation.
He expressed his admiration for and congratulated Vietnam on the rapid development the country has achieved in all spheres during its national construction process.
