The traditional ties between Vietnam and Algeria have received continual stimulus by strengthening relations between the two governments, parliaments, civil organisations, state officials and youth, Spokesperson for Algeria’s National Liberation Front (FLN) Said Bouhedja told the Vietnam News Agency.
He emphasised 2015 marks a number of Vietnamese major events, such as the the late President Ho Chi Minh’s 125th birthday , 61 years since the Dien Bien Phu victory and the 40 th anniversary of Southern Liberation and National Reunification.
He went on to express his hope that the country would move forward to claim new victories and consolidate its position worldwide.
He said Algeria will launch activities on the occasion of the Vietnamese major celebrations as a demonstration of their solidarity with the people of the Southeast Asian nation.
