🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at talks with Deputy Prime Minister – Foreign Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Bui Thanh Son (Moscow, April 2, 2025)
💬 Mr Minister,
Friends,
We are delighted to welcome you to Moscow.
It is a special year for us. This year, we will mark 75 years of our diplomatic relations, the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Second World War and of Vietnam’s independence declared on September 2, 1945, and, of course, the 50th Anniversary of the liberation of the southern regions of your country on April 30, 1975.
🇷🇺🇻🇳 All these dates are connected, in one way or another, with the development of our friendly and truly fraternal relations, and the practical expression of our people’s solidarity in the fight for their independence and interests.
We can see today that the experience we accumulated at different stages in our shared history, including at the time of trial, provided the basis for an intensive and substantive political dialogue at all levels and promoted our trade and economic ties, defence and security cooperation, cultural exchanges that are in great demand in our societies, and overall, our close interaction on the international stage.
We are working with our Vietnamese friends to implement the agreements reached in June 2024 during the state visit of President Vladimir Putin to Vietnam.
Comrade To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) and the 13th President of Vietnam, has been invited to Victory Day celebrations in Moscow. We will be delighted to see the Vietnamese leader at the celebrations.
🤝 There are intensive exchanges between our parliaments, scientists, experts and youth organisations.
We will discuss all these aspects of our relations today, and I hope that after that we will map out additional measures to promote our interaction in all spheres.
