General Secretary To Lam expressed his pleasure at visiting and speaking at the Academy of Public Administration and National Economy under the President of the Russian Federation on the occasion of Russia's celebration of the 80th anniversary of Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War.
The General Secretary emotionally shared that the past century has witnessed special ties between the two countries. From the 1920s, when the Vietnamese revolutionary movement was still in its formative stages, Soviet Russia – the result of the Great October Revolution – became a beacon illuminating the path to national liberation for Vietnam. President Ho Chi Minh, the founder and leader of the Vietnamese revolution, went to Russia early on, studied at the Communist International, and embraced Marxism-Leninism, thereby laying the ideological foundation for the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1930. Many pioneering revolutionaries such as Tran Phu, Le Hong Phong, and Ha Huy Tap also studied and trained in the Soviet Union, growing into outstanding leaders of the Vietnamese revolutionary movement.
The General Secretary affirmed that the sincere, loyal companionship, sharing, and assistance, as well as the noble solidarity of the Soviet Union in the past and the Russian Federation today, are a precious historical legacy for the two countries to continue to cultivate, build, and develop their substantive friendly cooperative relationship now and in the future.

Beyond geographical distance, the two countries share immense similarities in history, spirit, vision, and values. Both peoples are "in tune" in spirit, "empathize" in overcoming challenges, and "walk together" on paths of development, above all, sharing a bond of comradeship and brotherhood. In the world, few countries have consistently held such a deep and unwavering affection in the hearts of generations of Vietnamese people as the former Soviet Union and present-day Russia.
Regarding the process of implementing the Doi Moi (Renovation) policy in Vietnam, the General Secretary stated that, overcoming many difficulties, Vietnam has today risen to become an open, dynamic economy, a shining example of growth. These great achievements of historical significance, along with the recognition of international friends, have placed Vietnam at a new historical starting point, confidently stepping into a new era with strategic and long-term orientations for the next stage.

The two countries need to strengthen cooperation and coordinate closely in international and regional multilateral forums, continue to promote multilateralism, a just and sustainable multipolar world order, in which Russia is an important pole, based on the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and international law; promote the joint efforts of the international community to respond to non-traditional security challenges, and hope that the Russian Federation will continue to support strengthening the central role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in the Asia-Pacific regional structure. The General Secretary pledged that Vietnam will strengthen close coordination with Russia to further deepen the ASEAN-Russia Strategic Partnership…
The General Secretary emphasized the glorious history and great achievements of the Russian nation and people, as well as the proud development of bilateral relations, which have affirmed Russia's special role and position in Vietnam, including the important contributions of the RANEPA Academy.
