Speaking to the press, Ambassador Ri Sung Guk emphasized that the cooperative friendship between Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Vietnam is a precious relationship personally built and nurtured by the leaders of both countries.

Over the past 75 years, the two countries have continuously expanded and developed relations in political, economic, and cultural fields, and have closely coordinated on regional and international forums.
Ambassador Ri Sung Guk affirmed: “The visit of Comrade General Secretary To Lam to our country and participation in the activities commemorating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea will be a meaningful occasion to demonstrate the solidarity among socialist countries as well as the enduring nature of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea-Vietnam cooperative friendship, which has a long history and tradition.”
