Following the ceremony, the two leaders held talks, witnessed the signing of cooperation agreements, and addressed the press to announce the outcomes of their discussions.

Over the past 30 years since the establishment of their diplomatic relations on January 24, 1992, Viet Nam and Belarus have steadily nurtured and developed their traditional friendship and strong cooperation. This relationship has been built on mutual trust, equality, and respect, serving the interests of both nations and laying a solid foundation for increasingly close and active engagement across all areas.

The state visit to Belarus by General Secretary Lam, his spouse, and the high-level Vietnamese delegation marks a new impetus for strengthening and expanding bilateral ties. It is expected to help deepen the already strong relationship, enhance the effectiveness of existing mechanisms, and establish new ones, aiming for more regular, substantive, and effective cooperation in the years to come.
