At the talks between VGCL President Dang Ngoc Tung and FTUB Chairman Mikhail Orda in Hanoi on November 23, cooperation agreements were signed between trade unions of Ho Chi Minh City and Brest province, and between trade unions of Vietnam’s agriculture and rural development sectors and Belarus’s industry-agriculture sector.

Tung hoped that both sides would further enhance economic, trade and cultural exchanges in the near future.

Orda, for his part, affirmed that the signing indicates the resolve of the two countries’ trade unions in promoting their traditional cooperation.

Since establishing their ties in 1992, the two sides have co-operated actively across industry and trade, banking, training in labour and trade union as well as supported each other at international forums.

In the foreseeable future, they will engage in information and experience sharing, as well as furthering trade links between businesses.
