"We also continue to coordinate closely with the multilateral forums and mechanisms while sustainably collaborating in response to common regional and global challenges," she said.

The State visit to Cuba, Tô Lâm's first to the Latin American country since being elected as Vietnamese top leader, is made at the invitation of the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez and his wife.

"The time-tested solidarity and special bonds of friendships between Việt Nam and Cuba is a precious treasure that most parties face and people cherish and continue to nurture across all channels," spokesperson Hằng noted.
