Italian, Vietnamese communist parties share experience

At the meeting, Hoang thanked Italy’s leftist movement as well as the CPI for their support for Vietnam’s past struggles for national liberation and reunification as well as for the current process of national construction and development. The Party official also expressed conviction that the CPI will continue to spare no efforts to fulfill its huge responsibility as a vanguard party and a political fulcrum of the Italian working people.

For his part, CPI Secretary Maurizio Musolino applauded the tremendous achievements Vietnam has recorded during the three decades of pursuing the Doi Moi (renewal) process, which he said, is the most vivid evidence of efforts and power of a nation led by the Communist Party.

The two sides discussed theoretical issues related to the practical development of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) and the CPI, the advantages and disadvantages for leftist movement in Italy including the CPI. Additionally, they also shared experience in promoting cultural and educational development abroad in the context of international integration and dealing with the challenges presented by market economic conditions.

He also expressed his wish that the two parties will continue to cooperate closely by intensifying the exchange of lessons drawn from the development process.
