Lukashenko: Belarus seeks strategic partnership with Vietnam

MINSK, 12 May (BelTA) - Belarus and Vietnam intend to establish a strategic partnership, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during talks with General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam To Lam on 12 May, BelTA has learned.

"I want to assure you that our relations will only improve. The agreements we will reach with Vietnam will be honored fully. We are committed to pursuing a strategic partnership between Belarus and Vietnam as we have agreed," the Belarusian leader stated. "We share a long history of relations, an impressive history of our joint struggle in Vietnam for the independence of your state and people. We have been observing the development of Vietnam after that terrible war. We are happy about your achievements and ready to cooperate to make these successes even more significant."

Aleksandr Lukashenko recalled that at the BRICS summit in Kazan in October 2024, the parties reached an agreement to draft a joint action plan (roadmap) to develop cooperation. "In Kazan, we proposed to the Vietnamese side a joint action plan for the near future: 2025-2027. I believe we will do our utmost to implement the goals outlined in this roadmap," the president said.

"Certainly, we have issues on the agenda that need to be addressed promptly. I think we will discuss them, and if we reach joint decisions, we will implement them in the near future, be it mutual payments between the two countries or air service and everything related to it. These are the matters important for the economy," Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
