This diversity in unity is also reflected in Vietnam, creating a strong relationship between the two countries, based on the foundation of respect and understanding. Through rich traditions, diverse cuisine and vibrant cultural life, we hope to spread the spirit of friendship and solidarity between Malaysia and Vietnam."
