Hanoi (VNA) – Politburo member and Chairman of the Party Central Committee's Commission for Information and Education Nguyen൩ Trong Nghia hosted separate receptions in Hanoi on August 8 for the Indian and Japanese ambassadors to Vietnam.
In his meeting with Indian Ambassador Sandeep Arya, Nghia congratulated India on the successful 18th Lok Sabha (lower house of the Indian parliament) elections and the formation of a new government in June.
Praising the flourishing Vietnam-India comprehensive strategic partnership, particularly the positive outcomes of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's recent state visit to India, Nghia urged both countries to continue working closely together to realise high-level agreements reached during the visit, foster relations in the "Five More" direction agreed upon by the two PMs, and deepen political trust and cooperation in various areas in a substantive way.
Arya said with similar cultures and civilisations, and mutual goodwill among their people, both nations have a common aspiration to build strong and prosperous countries.
He called for continued cooperation to align with contemporary global trends and support the rapid and sustainable development goals of each country.

Vietnam always considers Japan a key strategic partner with shared interests and ample potential for mutual development, he said, urging the embassy to continue serving as a bridge to intensify bilateral cooperation across the Party, State, parliamentary, people-to-people and locality-to-locality exchange channels.
Ambassador Ito, for his part, highlighted the significance of the upgrade in ties, describing it as a milestone reflecting the fine development of bilateral relationship over the past five decades. He expressed hope that both sides would strengthen their cooperation further and in greater depth in the coming years./.
Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung had working sessions with leaders of Japanese ministries, sectors, and groups, and Vietnamese enterprises to discuss measures to boost Vietnam-Japan cooperation in the field of information and communications technology (ICT), within the framework of his visit to the East Asian nation from August 4-6.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).

The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.
Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the Central Public Security Party Committee must be fully aware of the extremely important role of the People's Public Security force in the country's new revolutionary phase, so as to guide each branch and level of the force as the nation undergoes transformation.
Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
