Kazakhstan and Vietnam have taken a significant step toward strengthening their bilateral relationship, with General Secretary To Lam announcing Kazakhstan as Vietnam’s first strategic partner in Central Asia during his visit to Astana.
To Lam’s official visit to Kazakhstan marks a milestone in the rapidly expanding ties between the two nations. Speaking after a meeting with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, he emphasized that the decision to visit Kazakhstan just two years after Tokayev’s own trip to Vietnam highlights not only the active development of bilateral cooperation but also the high level of mutual trust.
In turn, the President of Kazakhstan called the General Secretary’s first visit to Astana a vivid testament to the strong friendship between the two nations.
“Vietnam is an important partner for Kazakhstan in Asia. Our aspirations toward prosperity are largely aligned. Two years ago, during my official visit to Vietnam, we agreed to develop new areas of bilateral cooperation. Next month marks the 33rd anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. I am confident that the friendly ties between our peoples will continue to grow stronger,” said Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
To Lam expressed his gratitude for the warm hospitality on Kazakh soil and voiced confidence that the outcome of the current talks would broaden the scope of relations between Kazakhstan and Vietnam.
“The fact that our delegation decided to visit your country just two years after your visit to Vietnam demonstrates the active development of cooperation between our nations and reflects the high level of mutual trust,” noted the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
General Secretary To Lam visited Astana, meeting with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to strengthen ties between Kazakhstan and Vietnam. Following his visit, To Lam is set to attend a military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory.
