Vietnam, Cuba vow to boost financial cooperation

Vietnam and Cuba will enhance the exchange of experiences in the
management of tax, public spending and foreign exchanges as well as tax
and treasury cooperation.

Cuban Minister of Finance and Prices Lina Pedraza and Deputy Vietnamese
Finance Minister Nguyen Cong Nghiep expressed the determination during
the recent talks in Cuba.

During his five-day working visit to Cuba ending on January 20, Deputy
Minister Nghiep informed the host of Vietnam's financial and budget
policy to stabilise macro-economy while ensuring sustainable economic
growth and social welfare.

He also briefed the host on Vietnam's socio-economic achievements during
the 2001-08 period and orientations for the nation's financial policy in
2010.

Cuban Minister Pedraza highlighted Vietnam's socio-economic achievements
over the past years and the country's timely and effective
implementation of financial solutions to minimise the negative impact of
the global economic crisis.

Both host and guest assessed the implementation of the two ministries'
cooperation programmes last year.

Also on the occasion, Deputy Minister Nghiep and his Cuban counterpart
Felix Martinez signed a cooperation agreement between the two ministries
for 2010.
