(VOVworld) – On Saturday President Truong Tan Sang received a delegation of the World Federation of Trade Unions, led by Secretary General George Mavrikos, who are attending the Presidential Council session in Hanoi.
He hailed the Federation’s selection of Hanoi to host the meeting prior to its 17th congress, considering this an encouragement for Vietnamese workers. He praised the Federation’s efforts to fight for workers’ legitimate rights and interests and its cooperation with the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. He said he hopes that unity between the working class and trade union organizations will be consolidated in the fight against poverty, invasion, arms races, and climate change.
Mavrikov said he believes Vietnam will achieve greater successes in politics, economics, culture, and international relations.
