Mr Quan, who was on a working visit to France, briefed the French communists on the CPV’s preparations for its 11th national congress, supplements to and development of its 1991 Platform, as well as Vietnam’s orientations for socio-economic development and its strategies for the 2011-2020 period.
The French communists praised Vietnam’s socialist-oriented economic development model and the special traditional relations between the two parties.
During their talks, the Vietnamese and French communists agreed that the current global economic crisis offers a chance for researchers and theorists to devise appropriate new political strategies, especially as the French side is designing a new political plan.
Earlier on November 12, Vietnamese officials visited the headquarters of the Socialist Party of France (PS) and met with Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, Secretary of the PS Central Committee in charge of external affairs.
The Vietnamese communists and PS members discussed international issues of mutual concern, the development of the left-wing movement in the world as well as measures to improve the CPV-PS relationship.
