Paris (VNA) - Vice Chairwoman of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee's Commission for External Relations Nguyen Thi Hoang Van had working sessions with representatives of political parties in the UK and France within the framework of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's visits to the two European countries.
In France, Van worked with Lydia Samarbakhsh, Politburo member and Head of the French Communist Party (PCF)’s International Division; Olivier Faure, First Secretary of the Socialist Party; and Francois Peguillet, who is in charge of European affairs and international relations of The Republicans.
At these working sessions, representatives of the French political parties said they attach great importance to relations with the CPV, affirming that the ties between the French political parties and the CPV make an important contribution to promoting the strategic partnership between the two countries.
The two sides exchanged many practical contents to strengthen ties. They also agreed to promote the exchange of delegations, enhance the sharing of experiences, policy dialogues, theoretical seminars, cooperate at multilateral forums and expand collaboration between specialised agencies of each party.
At the meeting with representatives of the French Communist Party, the two sides vowed to coordinate well to prepare for a webinar with the theme of "President Ho Chi Minh with the French Communist Party and Marseille" which will take place in early December on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's arrival in Marseille, the first destination in his journey to find a way for national liberation.
They emphasised that the workshop will be a good opportunity to educate about the close relationship and solidarity between the two parties, especially for young generations of the two countries and to honour President Ho Chi Minh.
The two sides also discussed a plan to organise the fourth theoretical seminar between the Communist Party of Vietnam and the French Communist Party.
Earlier, during a working session with representatives of the Communist Party of Britain, the two parties agreed to increase the sharing of information, expe🧸rience and promote the exchanges between the two sides./.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).

The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.

Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
