North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening ties with Vietnam in a letter marking the country's 81st founding anniversary, according to Pyongyang's state media. In the letter, Kim expressed his belief that the friendship and cooperation between the two nations would grow stronger, as per the agreement reached during their meeting in Pyongyang last October.
The two countries have been steadily closer since the October summit, with Vietnamese President To Lam's visit to North Korea marking the first by a top Vietnamese leader in 18 years. In May, Vietnamese Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung had visited North Korea for talks with his counterpart Choe Son-hui, followed by security ministers' talks in Pyongyang the following month.
