At the event, VUKN and VUFA also signed a new five-year Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC), which acknowledges the two organisations’ long-standing and fruitful on-going relationship while marking a new era of partnership between them.
The VUFA delegation coordinated with a delegation of the Academy of Journalism and Communication under the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics to hold a working session with leaders of SOAS University, one of the leading research centres for Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
They also paid a working trip to Karl Marx Library, home to more than 60,000 books and newspapers on Marxism, scientific socialism and international workers' movements.
On the occasion, the delegation presented to the library an English version of the book "Some theoretical and practical issues on socialism and the path to socialism in Vietnam" by Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and a book on the world people’s affection for President Ho Chi Minh compiled by the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry on the occasion of the 110th year since the Vietnamese President set foot on the UK during his journey to seek ways to liberate the nation (1913-2023).
