Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam Tran Thanh Man (retranslated):
I am very glad to meet you after our meeting in June.
President of Russia Vladimir
Putin: Yes. I remember all these meetings and would like to thank you for the warmhearted
welcome. I am delighted to see you in Moscow.
Tran Thanh Man: People of Vietnam dream of seeing you there
many times over. Your recent visit to Vietnam has greatly impressed the Vietnamese.
Vladimir Putin: Thank you very much.
I remember how warmly I was welcomed
in Hanoi in June, like only true friends do. I am confident that the results of my visit to Hanoi will
serve to develop our inter-state ties.
Please, convey my best regards to the President, Comrade To Lam. I hope that he will be able to accept the invitation to participate in BRICS events in the BRICS+/Outreach format.
I know that a strong typhoon has recently
hit Vietnam.
Please accept our sincere condolences due the tragic consequences of the natural disaster.
You have a packed programme of your
stay in Russia.
We are very glad to see you.
Tran Thanh Man: Mr Putin,
I am very happy to visit Russia and Moscow
again. I remember well the conversation we had during your state visit to Vietnam in June.
The General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam passed away in July. Thank you very much for the deep condolences you sent us.
I would like to take this
opportunity to congratulate you and the Russian people on the successes
achieved under your leadership. Russia
maintains political and economic stability, its GDP is growing, and Russia is
enhancing its role and position in the international arena.
We consistently consider Russia to be
our primary partner. We would like to intensify cooperation with Russia in all
areas for the benefit of the two nations – for peace, stability and development
in the region and in the world.
