Havana, September 27 (RHC) --The General Secretary of the Communist Party and President of Vietnam, To Lam, will pays tribute Friday to the independence hero of that Asian nation, Ho Chi Minh, as part of the agenda of his state visit to Cuba.
The day before, on Thursday, the First Secretary of the Communist Party and President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz Canel, officially welcomed To Lam at the Palace of the Revolution, where both leaders held official talks.

On Thursday, the Vietnamese president was also received at the National Capitol by the president of the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP, Parliament), Esteban Lazo.
