HCMC – Party General Secretary and State President To Lam arrived in Colombo on May 7 for a two-day state visit to Sri Lanka at the invitation of Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.
The Vietnamese leader and the high-ranking delegation were greeted at Bandaranaike International Airport by Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya and several members of the Sri Lankan Government, Vietnamese Ambassador to Sri Lanka Trinh Thi Tam and the embassy staff, along with representatives of the Vietnamese community in Sri Lanka.
Since Vietnam and Sri Lanka established diplomatic ties on July 21, 1970, the two countries have steadily strengthened and expanded their longstanding friendship across a wide range of areas.
The state visit to Sri Lanka by Party General Secretary and State President To Lam is expected to reinforce the traditional friendship and deepen the close ties between the leaders and peoples of the two nations, built over decades of cooperation and mutual support.
The visit is also seen as an important political milestone that will inject fresh momentum into bilateral relations and pave the way for a new phase of cooperation, marked by stronger political trust and more substantive, effective and wide ranging collaboration.
