As part of the agenda, Venezuela's delegation will meet with leaders of Vietnam's Communist Party. Both nations have already signed agreements to develop bilateral relations of economic and social interest to both countries.

Other Venezuelan figures also on the visit are the Minister of Popular Power for Communes and Social Movements Blanca Eekouth, Cojedes State Governor Margaud Godoy, Executive Secretary of the Somos Venezuela Movement, Mervin Maldonado, Vice Minister of the Educational Communities and Union with the People, Jorge Perez, Jesus Faria and Julio Chavez of the PSUV National Directorate.

The Executive group arrived from Pionyang, North Korea where Cabello gave to President Kim Jong-un a letter from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

In North Korea, Cabello was received by a delegation led by Pak Thae Song, president of Popular Assembly and later met other presentatives like Kim Kuang Uk, Jo Song Chol as well as Ri Hae Im, who is vice president of the Korea's Central Committee of the Socialist Union of Women.

Also, the ANC president paid tribute to former presidents Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong-Il by offering a floral arrangement in front of their bronze statues in Munsadae hill. He visited their tombs at Sun Palace where both are laid to rest.

This whole tour, together with previous meeting between Nicolas Maduro and Russian mandatary Vladimir Putin, represents a step forward in the strengthening of diplomatic relations between Venezuela and allied Eastern nations with the intent to develop strategic ties and mutual cooperation.
