The traditional friendship between Vietnam and Poland has been
strengthened through time, with numerous delegation exchanges of all
sectors to enhance mutual understanding and experience sharing, said
Nguyen Dang Cuong, Deputy President of the Vietnam-Poland Friendship
Association (VPFA).
Cuong made the remarks at a
ceremony in Ho Chi Minh City on May 3 to mark Polish Constitution
Day. He said the 50-year ties between Vietnam and Poland are based
on a sound traditional friendship and all-around cooperation.
He expressed his belief that the ties will continue to develop for the
mutual benefit of both countries, and for peace, stability and
cooperation in the region and world.
Vietnam
treasures the support that the Polish Government and people gave to the
country during its struggle for independence and freedom in the past, as
well as its current national defence and construction cause, he said.
Polish Deputy Ambassador to Vietnam Jacek Kaprzyk
affirmed that his country hopes to further foster its friendship with
Vietnam. He noted that over the past years, leaders of both countries
have frequently met each other, while 4,000 Vietnamese students have
studied in Poland.
Recognising Ho Chi Minh City
as a major economic and trade hub of Vietnam and the region,
Poland will open its promotion agencies in the city, focusing on
economic and cultural cooperation, he said.
The
event was jointly held by the Ho Chi Minh City chapter of the
Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations and the VPFA.-VNA
