Expressing his pleasure at visiting Vietnam again shortly after the successful 14th National Congress of the CPV, Budagov informed his host about the results of coordination between agencies of the two Parties and countries over the recent past, as well as future cooperation programs and plans to effectively implement the commitments and agreements reached between leaders of the two Parties and countries during CPV General Secretary To Lam's visit to Azerbaijan in May 2025.

He expressed confidence that with both sides’ efforts, Vietnam – Azerbaijan cooperation will be strongly promoted in all fields, commensurate with the potential and strengths of the two sides.
Vu appreciated the warm sentiments that the YAP Vice Chairman and delegation extended to the Vietnamese Party, country, people, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He affirmed that the Vietnamese ministry will continue to work closely with its Azerbaijani counterpart and relevant agencies of the two Parties and countries to strongly carry out the commitments and agreements between leaders of the two Parties and countries, developing bilateral relations in a deeper, more practical, and effective manner.
The Deputy Minister emphasized that in the immediate future, both sides need to urgently coordinate to prepare for delegation exchanges, high-level contacts, as well as cultural and artistic activities in 2026 to strengthen political trust and mutual understanding, thus creating a basis for enhancing ties in other fields.
