North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has emphasized his desire to strengthen ties with Vietnam in a letter to President To Lam on the 81st founding anniversary of the country, according to state media. In the letter, released by the Korean Central News Agency, Kim expressed his belief that the longstanding friendship and cooperation between the two nations would deepen, in line with the spirit of their agreement from a meeting in Pyongyang last October.
The two countries have been steadily improving their relationship since the October summit. This was the first visit to North Korea by a top Vietnamese leader in 18 years, with Lam's trip marking that milestone. In May, Vietnamese Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung visited North Korea for talks with his counterpart, Choe Son-hui. Subsequently, the two countries' security ministers held discussions in Pyongyang.
