In his address, Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Sao Mai lauded the relationship between the two countries over the past time and affirmed that Vietnam remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering the bilateral friendship and cooperation, which is an objective requirement, a strategic choice, and a top priority in its foreign policy.

Vietnam appreciates the invaluable support provided by the Chinese Party, Government, army, and people during its struggle for national independence and its ongoing efforts in socialism building and national development, the diplomat noted.

He said based on the strong relationship between the two Parties and nations, their defence ties have been identified as a key pillar to be expanded and deepened toward effectiveness and practical outcomes to translate the strategic guidance by their high-ranking leaders into reality. High-level interactions between the countries’ central military commissions and defence ministries have become more frequent, further solidifying political trust, while cooperation and exchanges between their armies have grown substantively.

The ceremony saw participants exchanging views on the countries’ affairs and their relations, and enjoying traditional Vietnamese cuisine./.
