The DPRK leader warmly welcomed General Secretary Lam and the high-ranking Vietnamese delegation to pay a state visit to the DPRK and attend the ceremony to celebrate the 80th founding anniversary of the WPK (October 10, 1945 - October 10, 2025), emphasising that this visit is of special importance, creating a strong driving force to enhance mutual understanding, consolidate political trust and promote the relationship between the two Parties and the two countries to a new height, towards completing the socialist development goals of each country; and at the same time, contribute to supporting the development of the DPRK.

General Secretary To Lam expressed his joy at paying a state visit to the DPRK in his new position, right on the occasion of the country’s solemn celebration of the 80th anniversary of the WPK and the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Viet Nam and the DPRK.

He warmly congratulated the great achievements in the cause of construction and development of the DPRK over the past 80 years under the leadership of the WPK, headed by President Kim Il Sung, General Secretary Kim Jong Il, and now General Secretary and President of the State Affairs Kim Jong Un.

The Vietnamese Party chief believed that with the motto of “taking the people as the root”, “united mind” and “self-reliance”, the DPRK will complete the tasks and goals set by the WPK, opening a new era of comprehensive national rejuvenation.

In a sincere, friendly and open atmosphere, the two leaders exchanged views on the situation in each country, the Viet Nam-DPRK relationship and international and regional issues of mutual concern.
