The leader noted that the Vietnamese Party, State and people always keep in mind and treasure sentiments and valuable support of Russian communists and people to Vietnam during its struggle for national liberation as well as the present cause of national defence and construction.
Vietnam wishes to deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia in a more effective and pragmatic fashion, he emphasised.
President Quang urged the two parties to further enhance political ties and maintain delegation exchanges in order to increase mutual understanding and trust, while organising exchange programs between young Party members to educate them about the traditional cooperation between the two parties.
