North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has pledged to enhance the diplomatic relationship with Vietnam in response to a message from Vietnamese President To Lam. This commitment comes after Lam sent a letter on September 9, celebrating the 78th anniversary of North Korea's founding.
In his reply, Kim expressed optimism about the future of bilateral relations, stating that the friendship and cooperation between the two nations would continue to grow. He emphasized that the recent developments since their meeting in Pyongyang last October have laid a foundation for further collaboration.
President Lam highlighted the steady strengthening of ties in his previous correspondence, mentioning that both countries have effectively implemented agreements made during their summit. He also noted Vietnam's readiness to collaborate with North Korea to promote regional and global peace.
The relationship between North Korea and Vietnam has been warming, particularly following Lam's historic visit to Pyongyang, which marked the first by a top Vietnamese leader in 18 years. Recent meetings between high-ranking officials from both countries have further solidified this growing partnership.
