The Government leader made the remark at a meeting held in Ha Noi on March 13 to review the preparations for the DPRK-USA Summit and the welcome of DPRK Chairman Kim Jong Un to pay an official friendly visit to Viet Nam and US President Donald Trump to visit the country.
Both the DPRK and US leaders expressed their gratitude and impression at Viet Nam’s preparatory work, PM Phuc said, hailing this as a strong message about Viet Nam’s rising and willingness to further promote its constructive role and active contributions to the common affairs of the region and the work.
The success of the aforementioned events is a good warm-up for Viet Nam to take over ASEAN Chairmanship in 2020 and seeking to become a nonpermanent member of the UN Security Council for 2020-2021, creating a favorable environment for the acceleration of bilateral activities with the US in the future as well as paving the way for the enhancement of ties with the DPRK at an appropriate time, he stated.
