General Director Minh expressed his gratitude to Cuban colleagues and teachers for their support for VTV in its early days of foundation, saying his agency is willing to share its experience in developing the self-control mechanism at a national television with the Cuban institute.
VTV will also assist Cuban film delegations to Vietnam in making films on revolutionary leader Fidel Castro’s historic visit to Vietnam 45 years ago (September 1973), and stands ready to expand cooperation in this field.
For his part, Alfonso Noya described Vietnam and VTV in particular as a model which overcomes difficulties to develop. He said Vietnam’s experience in audiovisual technologies would be valuable for Cuba.
Alfonso Noya said he believes that there are many areas for experience sharing between Vietnam and Cuba, thus helping the two nations enrich their cultural knowledge and promote mutual understanding.
At a working session with representatives of the Cuban Ministry of Culture and the Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry of Cuba (ICAIC), Minh called on the Cuban side to support VTV correspondents in making documentaries on Cuba’s culture.
In response, VTV will provide support and documents that the Cuban side needs, he promised.
On this occasion, ICAIC Vice President Benigno Iglesias and Head of the VTV International Cooperation Department Ho Kien signed an agreement on free-of-charge exchange of audiovisual products.
Under the agreement, the ICAIC will hand over the first batch of six documentaries on Vietnam by late director Santiago Alvarez, 71 bulletins on the anti-US war in Vietnam produced by the institute between 1960 and 1990, "Third World, World War III" documentary film, directed by Julio García in 1970 and "Journey to a disappeared country" directed by Isabel Santos in 2014.
