President wants multifaceted cooperation with Belarus

Ha Noi, April 12 (VNA) -- President Tran Duc Luong has expressed Viet Nam's wish to develop comprehensive and effective cooperation with Belarus, especially in economic and commercial areas.

President Luong made the statement while receiving Belorussian Trade Union President Leonid Kozid in Ha Noi on April 12.

The Vietnamese leader noted with joy that the traditional and cooperative ties between the two countries have seen fine steps of development with the frequent exchange of visits by leaders, high-ranking officials and mass organisations, including trade unions.

He spoke highly of the role played by the Belarus Trade Union in strengthening the exchange of experience in operating a market-oriented economy in the transitional period and boosting bilateral cooperation in trade, economics, technology and science, culture and education.

President Luong held that an agreement reached by the Viet Nam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) and the Belorussian Trade Union on regular exchange of visits, encouraging cooperation among trade union organisations from the central down to the grassroots levels as well as promoting mutual coordination at international forums would deepen the ties between the two trade unions.

The Belorussian trade union leader expressed his wish to promote trade union information exchange through the exchanges of newspapers and publications. The move, Kozid said, would help the business circles of the two countries boost cooperation. He promised to boost information on the Vietnamese land and people among the younger generations of Belarus.

Trade union organisations of the two countries' capitals, Ha Noi and Minsk, will sign a bilateral cooperation agreement on April 13.

The same day, VGCL President Cu Thi Hau held a working session with the Belorussian Trade Union delegation to discuss bilateral cooperation orientations.

During their stay in Viet Nam from April 11-15, the Belorussian trade unionists will visit a number of grassroots trade union organisations, where they will have direct contact with Vietnamese trade unionists and employees.-Enditem
