He made the statement at the third congress of the VPFA Hanoi for the 2022 – 2027 tenure on August 15, during which the unit reviewed its performance and mapped out plans for the next term.
The Palestinian people highly value their solidarity and friendship with the Vietnamese, he said, adding that it provides a motivation for Palestine to believe in the future and continue development. He vowed that the Embassy of Palestine will together work with the two organisations to promote cultural and people-to-people exchange and strengthen friendship between the two countries in the coming time.
The congress later elected Le Phuoc Minh, Director of the Institute for Africa and Middle East Studies, as the new Chairman of VPFA Hanoi for the 2022 – 2027 tenure.
In the 2022-2027 term, the Association will open 1 to 2 new branches, enhance external information work, update global news, and promote external policy of the Vietnamese Party and State related to relations with Middle Eastern countries in general and Palestine in particular through the peaceful activities.
