VTV.vn - Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Quoc Dung and his Nicaraguan counterpart Arlette Marenco convened the two nations’ first deputy foreign ministerial political consultation on October 19 via video conference.

Informed the Nicaraguan side about Vietnam’s political, socio-economic situation; response to COVID-19; and policy on external relations, Deputy Minister Dung stated Vietnam wants to strengthen its friendship and cooperation with Nicaragua on the basis of their traditional solidarity and amity; their sharing of basic principles of international relations; and their common interests in national development.

He also praised the good traditional relationship between the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) of Nicaragua.

For her part, Arlette Marenco lauded Vietnam’s achievements in COVID-19 prevention and control and socio-economic development.
