  His official goodwill visit to the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam served as a historic occasion that invariably defended the history and tradition of friendship between the two countries and further developed the bilateral relations in accordance with the demand of the new era.
  During his visit, Kim Jong Un established good friendly relations with Nguyen Phu Trong, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Viet Nam and President of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, and other party and state leaders of Viet Nam and laid a firm foundation for carrying forward through generations the tradition of friendship between the DPRK and Viet Nam provided by the preceding leaders of the two countries even in the complicated international situation.

  The DPRK and Viet Nam are socialist countries in Asia and the friendly and cooperative relations between the peoples of the two countries have a long history and tradition.

  Under his leadership, the Korean people fought in firm unity with the Vietnamese people, sharing the mind and will with them on the road of severe and arduous struggle against the US imperialist aggressors, the common enemy.
  The great leader Kim Jong Il met party and state leaders of Viet Nam on several occasions, putting the relations of friendship between the two countries onto a new high level.
  The traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the the DPRK and Viet Nam established in the course of the bloody struggle for realizing the common objective and ideal under the banner of socialism and consolidated despite all trials are now brilliantly carried forward and developed by Kim Jong Un and Nguyen Phu Trong.
  The friendly and cooperative relations between the DPRK and Viet Nam will be invariably carried forward as the common wealth of the peoples of the two countries generation after generation in the future, too.
