Tran Anh Tuan, President of the association, stressed that the Vietnamese people will always remember the valuable spiritual support extended by the Nepalese people, through progressive solidarity organisations, during Vietnam’s struggle for national liberation and reunification.
As of the afternoon of September 11, the embassy reported that there were no cases of Vietnamese citizens impacted by the protests in Nepal.
Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his Nepalese counterpart Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli have expressed their wish to further strengthen the long-standing friendship and sound cooperation that the two countries have nurtured over the past five decades since the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Nepali leaders agreed to set out major directions for bilateral ties in the coming period, aiming to further boost cooperation in politics, economy, trade, investment, culture, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges.
Vietnamese Vice State President Vo Thi Anh Xuan held talks with Nepali Vice President Ram Sahaya Prasad Yadav in Kathmandu on August 24, during which they shared their countries’ development goals and mapped out major directions to enhance bilateral cooperation.
Over the past five decades, Vietnam and Nepal have witnessed positive growth in their partnership. The two sides have promoted visits and exchanges at various levels, while maintaining close coordination and mutual support at regional and international forums.
The Vietnam-Nepal relationship is primarily centred on religion, education, people-to-people exchange, business, trade, and investment, Upadhyay said, noting people-to-people diplomacy forms the foundation of this relationship.
Vietnamese Ambassador to India, Nepal and Bhutan Nguyen Thanh Hai said in recent years, the strong promotion of people-to-people exchange has truly served as a bonding force between the two countries, noting that the Vietnam – Nepal Friendship Association (VNFA), established in September 2014, has played an active role in this regard.
There is currently no information regarding any Vietnamese nationals involved in a July 12 landslide that swept two buses into a river in Nepal.
As people-to-people diplomacy is an important foundation in bilateral relations, Vietnam wants to strengthen people-to-people exchanges with Nepal, said Vice President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO) Nguyen Ngoc Hung on May 20.
