Vietnam reiterates steadfast support for Palestine
The Party, State, and people of Vietnam always value the traditional friendship with Palestine and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), which was forged during the challenging days of struggle, has stood the test of time, and must be preserved, strengthened, and passed on to future generations.
Politburo member, Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee and head of its Commission for Internal Affairs Phan Dinh Trac made the statement at a meeting with PLO Secretary General Azzam Najib Mustafa Al-Ahmad in Hanoi on September 2.
At the meeting, Trac highlighted Vietnam’s determination to become a country with modern industry and upper-middle income by 2030, and a high-income developed country by 2045.
On regional issues, he reiterated Vietnam’s consistent position of supporting the just struggle of the Palestinian people and the two-state solution based on international law and relevant UN resolutions. He expressed concern over the protracted conflict and its humanitarian impact in Gaza, urging the parties concerned to soon reach a ceasefire agreement and work towards a sustainable, long-term solution.
For his part, Al-Ahmad expressed his honour to join a reception hosted by Party General Secretary To Lam, emphasising that the reception conveyed a deep sense of trust, loyalty, and the enduring relationship between Vietnam and the peoples of the world. He thanked Vietnam for its support and consistent stance on the Palestinian struggle at international forums.
The Secretary-General also congratulated the Party, State, and people of Vietnam on their remarkable socio-economic development achievements, affirming that Vietnam’s accomplishments serve as a lasting source of inspiration for generations of Palestinian leaders and people.
The two sides agreed to further deepen their close and faithful relationship through practical and effective cooperation activities. They pledged to step up all-level delegation exchanges, enhance coordination and mutual support at international forums and organisations, and strengthen ties between the CPV and the PLO. Both sides also agreed to boost people-to-people exchanges and cooperation between their organisations and associations.
