His Excellency Nguyen Xuan Phuc
President of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam
Excellency,
The government and the people of Sri Lanka join me in conveying felicitations and
greetings to you and to the people of Viet Nam on the occasion of the 77 National Day
of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.
Sri Lanka and Viet Nam share a deep-rooted, warm and strong bilateral relationship
built and nurtured by mutual respect, shared values and traditions and profound
understanding. It is my sincere wish to further strengthen and enhance our ties in the
years to come.
Viet Nam can be proud of its outstanding achievements during the last 77 years. Under
the visionary and able guidance of the Communist Party, Viet Nam has been able to
achieve remarkable success in socio-economic development and become an important
partner in regional and international fora including the UN and ASEAN. Viet Nam’s
tremendously successful chairmanship of ASEAN in 2020, under your diligent
leadership and Viet Nam’s active role as a non-permanent member of the UN Security
Council during the term of 2020/21 were recent highlights in that aspect.
L also take this opportunity to wish Your Excellency good health and happiness, and for
the continued advancement and prosperity of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.
Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
