Vietnam has affirmed its image as a peace-loving nation.

Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Ito Naoki expressed his congratulations to the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 80th anniversary of its establishment, as well as the achievements it has made over the past years.

"The 80-year history has not been smooth or easy, but the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has demonstrated its mettle and capacity, contributing to building a peace-loving nation, creating a favorable environment for nation building and economic development," Mr. Ito Naoki affirmed.

According to the Japanese diplomat, Vietnam always advocates being friends with all countries, while complying with international law, the United Nations Charter, and respecting the rule-based order. These factors create a solid foreign policy, affirming the image of a peace-loving nation.

Ambassador Ito Naoki said that Japan and Vietnam celebrated the 50th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations two years ago and in that same year, the two countries upgraded their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for peace and prosperity in Asia and the world.

With this milestone, the two sides are expanding cooperation in many fields, not only in the economic field through official development assistance (ODA) and foreign direct investment (FDI), but also focusing on building political trust and security cooperation. As Vietnam’s international position is increasingly enhanced, its role in the international arena becomes increasingly important, and the two countries will have more opportunities for cooperation.

The Japanese Ambassador emphasized: "I attended the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025). It was a great event and I look forward to participating in the upcoming 80th Anniversary of National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025)."

Always demonstrate a dynamic spirit and effective cooperation

According to Pakistani Ambassador to Vietnam Kohdayar Marri, Vietnamese diplomacy has made great strides, rising from difficult and arduous times to achieve admirable achievements. "That is truly impressive. I believe that Vietnamese diplomacy will go further and develop even faster," he said.

Ambassador Kohdayar Marri shared that Vietnam is also where he began his first term as a diplomat and he learned many diplomatic skills and knowledge from his time working in the S-shaped country. Vietnam has a lot of experience to share and the world can learn a lot from Vietnam's journey of international integration.

"Vietnam's diplomacy always demonstrates a dynamic spirit, effectively cooperates with many partners, builds a positive and inspiring image. The potential for cooperation between the two countries is huge, there is still a lot of room for Vietnam and Pakistan to promote cooperation further, while contributing to connecting the whole region," the Pakistani diplomat emphasized.
