Hanoi (VNA) – Leaders of Vietnam and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) exchanged congratulatory messages on January 31 to mark the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties.

The Vietnamese Party, State and people always value and wish to further deepen the practical cooperative relationship with the DPRK across various fields, in line with the aspirations of both countries’ citizens and international commitments, contributing to maintaining peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the region and the world, they said, believing that both sides will effectively coordinate to celebrate the Vietnam-DPRK Friendship Year 2025 with impactful exchange and cooperation activities.

In response, the DPRK leaders stressed that designating 2025 as the Vietnam-DPRK Friendship Year reflects the shared aspirations and strategic directions of both nations. They voiced strong optimism that the long-standing friendship and cooperation between the DPRK and Vietnam will continue to flourish, further motivating and advancing the socialist cause in both countries.

Adding to the celebratory spirit, Secretary of the CPV Central Committee and head of its Commission for External Relations Le Hoai Trung exchanged congratulations with Kim Song Nam, alternate member of the Political Bureau and Director of the International Department of the Workers' Party of Korea Central Committee.
