Moscow (WNAM MONITORING): General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee and President To Lam met with Chairman of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) Gennady Zyuganov in Moscow on September 7 afternoon (local time).
General Secretary and President Lam, who is paying a state visit to Russia, stressed that the Vietnamese Party, State and people always remember with gratitude the invaluable assistance from the Communist Party, Government and people of the former Soviet Union and today’s Russia to Vietnam’s struggle for national liberation and reunification and its cause of national construction and defence.
The visit marks a continuation of the steadfast friendship and strategic trust between the two countries, building on the achievements of previous generations and creating a new turning point in elevating bilateral ties to a more comprehensive, profound and substantive level, he said.
He congratulated Russia on its major achievements in recent years, citing President Vladimir Putin’s leadership, the solidarity of the Russian people and political forces, and the KPRF’s policy contributions.
In particular, the KPRF has maintained its position as a major political party with a long history and prestige, making positive contributions to policymaking aimed at propelling Russia’s development and helping the country overcome challenges.
After the 14th National Congress, the CPV has adopted many important resolutions to advance national development, he said, expressing his hope that the KPRF and other Russian political parties will continue to strongly support and closely work with the CPV to elevate Party-to-Party and State-to-State relations to a new level of greater substance and effectiveness.
Amid a fast-moving and unpredictable global landscape, he called for stronger solidarity, cooperation and mutual support in pursuit of national development goals and for peace, security, stability and progress for humanity.
To deepen the two parties’ ties at bilateral and multilateral levels, the top Vietnamese leader proposed both sides effectively follow the agreement on further expanding and deepening inter-Party relations, especially by increasing high-level delegation exchanges and promptly sharing information on each Party’s key activities.
