A Vietnamese Communist Party delegation visited Cuba from November 10 to 14, 2026, to exchange experience with Cuban Communist Party officials on party operations and socioeconomic development. Both sides discussed closer cooperation and passing on the friendship between their countries to younger generations.
From November 10 to 14, 2026, a Communist Party of Vietnam delegation led by Đỗ Việt Hà, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Central Party Agencies, visited Cuba. The delegation held talks with relevant departments of the Communist Party of Cuba, exchanged experience on how the two parties’ agencies operate and sought to strengthen ties between them.
Roberto Morales Ojeda, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Cuba, Permanent Secretary of its Secretariat and head of the Central Committee’s Organization Department, said during a meeting with the delegation that the visit would help deepen relations between the two parties. He welcomed the experience the delegation shared on the operation of Vietnamese party bodies, saying those practices could serve as a reference for Cuba.

Đỗ Việt Hà said Vietnam was following and welcomed the socioeconomic transformation measures Cuba is implementing, and viewed Vietnam’s Đổi Mới reform process as a potential reference for Cuba. The delegation also held a working meeting with the Communist Party of Cuba’s Ideology Department. Its head, Yuniaski Crespo Baquero, described changes in Cuba’s economy and society and the party’s role in overseeing the implementation of related measures. She said Vietnam offered Cuba a model in both theory and practice.
During the visit, the delegation also met with the editorial board of Granma, the Communist Party of Cuba’s newspaper, and other institutions. They discussed improving communication about the two parties’ ideas and policies and their role in national development, as well as telling younger generations about the friendship between Vietnam and Cuba. The delegation also visited the Vietnamese Embassy in Cuba and laid flowers at the statue of Ho Chi Minh in Havana’s Ho Chi Minh Park.
