More than 100 participants agreed on measures to improve the efficiency of the joint coordination mechanism and elected a working group in the 2016-2018 tenure with 19 members, including the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV).

The event means to put forth orientations for cooperation between communist parties and workers in the coming time, especially the preparation for celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Russia October Revolution in 2017.

It also emphasised on the significance of fighting for peace and socialism as well as protecting independence and sovereignty of countries.
