He took the occasion to thank Vietnamese friends for bridging two cultures, thus contributing to enhancing mutual understanding and bolstering the friendship between the two nations. He expressed his belief that the traditional cooperation with Vietnam will develop in a stronger manner, helping build a prosperous future in each country.
