Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Hoai Trung described the visits as particularly important and historic, taking place at a meaningful moment as Viet Nam and India mark the 10th anniversary of their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and just one month after the top leader of Viet Nam assumed his new position. For Sri Lanka, this was the highest-level visit by a Vietnamese leader since the two countries established diplomatic relations.

The visit will be made at the invitation of President of Sri Lanka Anura Kumara Dissanayake.

Reaffirming that youth represent the vitality and future of a nation, Party General Secretary and State President To Lam expressed confidence that the younger generations of Viet Nam and China will continue to write new chapters in bilateral relations through creativity, dedication, and a strong sense of responsibility.

General Secretary of the Communist Party of Viet Nam (CPV) Central Committee and President of Viet Nam To Lam had a meeting with Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Wang Huning in Beijing on April 14, part of his state visit to China.
