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.
