Hanoi (VNA) - Vietnam places consistent importance on strengthening relations with its traditional friends, including Mongolia, and stands ready to work closely with the Mongolian Government and people to further advance the bilateral comprehensive partnership in a practical, effective and long-term manner, Permanent Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Vu has said.
Addressing a reception hosted by the Mongolian Embassy on February 5 to mark Tsagaan Sar (the White Month), Mongolia’s traditional Lunar New Year, Vu extended New Year greetings on behalf of the Vietnamese Government and people to their Mongolian counterparts. He highlighted the enduring friendship between the two countries, noting that bilateral ties have been consolidated and expanded across multiple sectors in recent years.

He expressed confidence that under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam headed by Party General Secretary To Lam, the Vietnamese people will continue to reap significant new achievements in implementing the Congress’s Resolution./.
