He encouraged fostering exchanges that meet both sides' needs and facilitating people-to-people connections.
The Party chief laid stress on the significance of promoting solidarity, responsibility, and creativity to excellently complete their missions.
Vietnamese Ambassador Le Ba Vinh reported that the embassy staff have upheld the spirit of unity and mutual support, serving as a bridge in strengthening the traditional friendship between the two nations.
