On behalf of the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam (MPS), Minister Luong Tam Quang warmly welcomed Ambassador Rogelio Polanco Fuentes to his new post in Vietnam, and wished the Ambassador a successful term of office.

The Minister underlined that the special solidarity and friendship between the two Parties and States have been continuously strengthened and developed on the basis of mutual trust and understanding over the past time, stressing that Vietnam has always stood side by side and supported Cuba at multilateral international forums and the United Nations.

In addition, the relationship between the Vietnam’s MPS and the Ministry of the Interior of Cuba has been consistently upheld and further strengthened in recent times.

Minister Luong Tam Quang expressed confidence that Ambassador Rogelio Polanco Fuentes will make positive contributions to strengthening the fraternal solidarity, comprehensive cooperation and mutual trust between the Parties, States, and peoples of Vietnam and Cuba in general, and to fostering the cooperation and relations between the Vietnam's MPS and the Cuban Ministry of the Interior in particular.
