Vietnam always treasures the wholehearted support of the people of the Soviet Union in the past and now Russia for Vietnam during its past resistance war as well as the present cause of national construction and defense, the hosts said, affirming the importance Vietnam attaches to the traditional friendship and comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia.
