Welcoming Mr. A.

Volfovich to convey sincere thanks to the Belarusian President for his messages of sympathy and condolences to the Vietnamese people affected by typhoons No. 10 and 14.
General Secretary To Lam emphasized that the relationship between the two countries has been tested over time, enduring many historical ups and downs, and is based on political trust, serving as a foundation for further multifaceted cooperation in the future.
The task of the relevant agencies in both countries is to actively implement high-level commitments and agreements, enriching the strategic partnership through specific cooperative projects in areas where both sides have potential, strengths, and needs, such as economy-trade, defense-security, science-technology, education-training, culture, tourism, people-to-people exchanges, as well as new fields like AI, blockchain, cybersecurity... for the benefit of the peoples of both countries, contributing to peace, cooperation, and development in the region and the world.
Regarding security cooperation, the General Secretary welcomed the efforts of the relevant agencies in both countries in promoting cooperation in this important field, in line with the agreements between the two sides, consistent with each country's laws and international law, effectively addressing both traditional and non-traditional security threats, and making practical contributions to the development of each country.
On bilateral relations in other fields, General Secretary To Lam expressed joy over the positive cooperation results in recent times, including the launch of the direct flight route Minsk - Phu Quoc on October 12, 2025, and the significant increase in trade turnover in the first nine months of the year compared to the same period in 2024.
The two sides cannot be satisfied with trade turnover at the level of hundreds of millions of USD but need to continue to leverage potential and opportunities, constantly promoting product introduction and import-export activities so that the people of both countries can know and use each other's famous products, thereby further increasing bilateral trade turnover.
