Vietnam and New Zealand has seen steady development and significant progress in their comprehensive partnership, Ambassador Dung said.
Last year also witnessed a wide range of activities, particularly Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung’s visit to New Zealand in March and PM John Key’s visit to Vietnam in November to mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties.
Ambassador Dung hoped that OVs in New Zealand will further strengthen solidarity, preserve national and cultural identities including the Vietnamese language and join hands to promote bilateral friendship and comprehensive cooperation.
