The message reads, in part:
“I would like to congratulate you,
on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation and personally, on your
election to the post of Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
“Russia and Vietnam are linked by our
ties of friendship and comprehensive strategic partnership. Our bilateral
cooperation is developing consistently in trade, the economy and investments. We
are implementing major projects in energy, industry, transport infrastructure,
science and culture.
“I have no doubt that energetic
joint efforts between our governments will further strengthen
Russian-Vietnamese cooperation and will create conditions for launching new
multifaceted initiatives. This fully meets the interests of the Russian
Federation and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
“Mr Pham Minh Chinh, I would like to
wish you good health, prosperity and every success in your responsible
position.”
