Informing Kusy and the Czech friends about the socio-economic situation of Vietnam, PM Chinh said that his visit to the Czech Republic this time aims to strengthen the traditional friendship between Vietnam and the Czech Republic in all fields and further tighten the friendship between the two countries’ people. He proposed the association to continue supporting and promoting the Vietnam-Czech relationship to make it more profound, substantive and effective.
Thanking PM Chinh for his reception, Kusy recalled PM Pham Van Dong's visit to the Czech Republic in 1957 with many important milestones. He believed that PM Chinh's visit to the Czech Republic this time will open a new phase in the relationship between the two countries.
Expressing his admiration for Vietnam's outstanding development, Kusy said that the association has coordinated very closely with the Vietnamese Embassy and associations of Vietnamese people in the Czech Republic and the Vietnam - Czech Friendship Association, thus contributing to promoting the Vietnam - Czech relations in general and between ministries, branches and localities of the two countries.
Kusy proposed Vietnam coordinate with the Czech Republic to promote people-to-people exchanges, creating conditions for the people of the two countries to better understand each other's country, people, and culture, including building a Vietnam culture centre in the Czech Republic. He affirmed that the Czech - Vietnam Friendship Association will do its best to stand side by side with Vietnam in the process of developing and cultivating relations between the two countries.
