Chairwoman of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and Moravia Katerina Konecna highly appreciated the long-standing traditional friendship between the Czech Republic and Vietnam as well as between the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and Moravia and the Communist Party of Vietnam .
Ms. Konecna affirmed her support for further strengthening and enhancing bilateral relations in the context of the Czech Republic and Vietnam towards the 75th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations (February 2, 1950 - February 2, 2025).
Speaking to VNA reporters at the headquarters of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia-Morava in Prague, Chairman Konecna assessed that the Czech Republic and Vietnam have had a long-standing good relationship. Czechoslovakia was one of the first countries in the world to establish diplomatic relations with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and had previously supported Vietnam's national liberation struggle. In turn, Vietnam was one of the first countries in the world to establish diplomatic relations with the Czech Republic.
Ms. Konecna assessed that throughout history, the relationship between the two countries has always developed dynamically and comprehensively.
According to the Chairman of the Czech-Morava Communist Party, one of the bases for strengthening bilateral relations is respect for each other's sovereignty, choice of social model, including historical and cultural differences of each country, paving the way for strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation based on the needs and capabilities of the two countries.
A typical example mentioned by Ms. Konecna is the two-way trade turnover between Vietnam and the Czech Republic reaching 2.9 billion USD in 2023. The two countries also strengthen cooperation in many areas such as the car company Skoda investing in production in Vietnam, while the Czech Republic imports coffee, tea and many other agricultural products from Vietnam. She said that as a member of the European Parliament (EP), she personally always supports strengthening relations between the European Union (EU) and Vietnam.
In the overall bilateral relationship, Ms. Konecna emphasized the long-standing tradition of relations between the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the Communist Party of Vietnam.
According to her, the two parties share the belief in building a socialist society with the specific characteristics of each nation. In addition, the President of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia-Morava affirmed the role of the Communist Party of Vietnam in the cause of national liberation, national reunification, as well as in building and defending the Vietnamese Fatherland today.
Referring to the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic, Ms. Konecna highly appreciated the community's integration into the Czech society, and also appreciated the fact that there are currently hundreds of thousands of people in Vietnam who still maintain ties with the Czech Republic. Ms. Konecna emphasized that the Communist Party of Czech-Morava supported the recognition of the Vietnamese community as an ethnic minority in the Czech Republic more than 10 years ago.
In mid-April, during a meeting with Vietnamese Ambassador to the Czech Republic Duong Hoai Nam, Chairman of the Communist Party of Czech-Morava assessed that the political and diplomatic relations between the two countries have developed positively through the frequency of delegation exchanges at all levels in recent times, emphasizing that the traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation between Vietnam and the Czech Republic have been cared for, maintained and developed by the leaders of the two countries for nearly 75 years, inherited from the Czechoslovak era.
Ms. Katerina Konecna affirmed that the consistent policy of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia-Morava is to promote traditional relations with Communist Parties around the world, in which the Communist Party of Vietnam is one of the priority partners in the foreign policy of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia-Morava./.
