Mai affirmed the support of the Party and the State of Việt Nam for Cuba in the process of updating the socio-economic development model, expressing the belief the Cuban people, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba, would continue to make efforts to overcome difficulties and challenges, thus protecting the revolutionary achievements and realising the goal of socialism in the Latin American nation.

Mai also appreciated the traditional friendship between the Việt Nam Fatherland Front (VFF) and the CDR, suggesting the two sides work closely to effectively implement their cooperation agreement for the 2023-28 period, thus contributing to tightening and deepening the friendship and cooperation between the two organisations, and the Cuba - Việt Nam special friendship relationship in general.

For his part, Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo, who is also a member of the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee, briefed on the current situation in Cuba and the CDR, affirming the admiration of the Cuban people at the resilient example of Vietnamese people in the past struggle for national liberation and  national development at present.
