General Secretary Lam once again expressed his thanks for the valuable support extended by the former Soviet Union and Russia to Viet Nam during its past struggle for national independence as well as its ongoing national construction process.
He affirmed that the foreign policies of independence and self-reliance of Viet Nam and Russia are an important pillar, and its cooperation with Russia, including collaboration via the Party channel, is significant to Viet Nam's development in the new era.
The Vietnamese Party leader voiced his confidence that the outcomes of his visit would further strengthen cooperation through Party, State, parliamentary, governmental, ministerial, locality, and people-to-people exchange channels, and pave the way for deeper ties across various fields.
Mironov, for his part, stressed that the Vietnamese leader’s visit, with its rich agenda, holds significance for the bilateral ties, especially in 2025, a milestone year in the histories of both nations.
He believed that the visit would yield practical outcomes, fostering cooperation across economy - trade, national defence, industry, culture, and education while laying a solid foundation for carrying the bilateral ties forward.
Russia always treasures and strengthens its "very reliable" relations with Viet Nam, he said, highly evaluating Viet Nam’s stance on matters related to Russia at international forums.
