President of the Vietnam-Poland Friendship Association Nguyen Dang Cuong highlighted the traditional friendship between Vietnamese and Polish people, which has been nurtured over the past more than 60 years.

Vietnamese people have special sentiment towards Poland and always remember the valuable assistance of the Polish Government and people in their struggle for national independence and freedom as well as current construction and defence.

The bilateral relations have been consolidated and furthered over the years, he said, expressing his belief that the friendship and multi-faceted cooperation between Poland and Vietnam will continue to thrive in the coming time.
