Chairman of the National Assembly’s Committee for Foreign Affairs Vu Hai Ha, who is also Chairman of the Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Association and Chairman of the Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Parliamentarians Group, expressed his delight at the growing special traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation, and mutual trust between Vietnam and Cuba.
