HCM City leader welcomes Cuban chief editor
Vice Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Nguyen Thi Thu Ha on July 10 hosted a reception for Pelayo Terry Cuervo, Editor-in-Chief of Granma – the official organ of the Cuban Communist Party.
Ha spoke highly of the achievements Cuba has made over the past years, especially in education, health care and biotechnology.
She expressed her hope that Granma will increase connectivity and information and professional exchanges with Saigon Giaiphong newspaper of the municipal Party Committee and Nhan dan (People) newspaper of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Their partnership will contribute to further fostering the Vietnam-Cuba relationship as well as the relationship between Ho Chi Minh City and Cuban localities, she said.
For his part, Cuevro said he is delighted at the two countries’ growing ties, adding geographic distance cannot hinder the development of their multi-faceted cooperation.
He said he hopes that Ho Chi Minh City will create more favourable conditions for Granma and media agencies in the city to boost their affiliation and share experience.
