2019 is an especially important year to the two countries’ people, marked by an official friendly visit to Vietnam by Chairman Kim in early March. This year will also lay the foundations for both nations to hold major activities in 2020, especially on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties.

The host also underlined the Vietnamese Party’s, Government’s, and people’s support for the cause of socialism building and national reunification in the DPRK, as well as Vietnam’s consistent stance on supporting peace, stability, and denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.
