Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko met with Vietnamese Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang on 9 September. 

First of all, the President congratulated the minister on Vietnamese Independence Day, which is celebrated in the country on 2 September. "The Vietnamese people earned this holiday with their sweat and blood. They fought for it. Vietnam is a rapidly developing country not only in Asia, but also in the world. It is an accomplished country," Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized.

"Vietnam and Belarus have established very warm, friendly relations. Our friendship with the Vietnamese people is based on those heroic pages of their struggle for independence after World War II. Our countrymen worked a lot in Vietnam. They helped during the war and they helped restore the national economy after the war. We still hold the same position," the President said.

In summer 2024, Vietnamese President To Lam was elected General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Aleksandr Lukashenko extended the warmest congratulations to the Vietnamese leader and an invitation to visit Belarus at any convenient time.

The head of state pointed out that as before Belarus is committed to promoting cooperation with Vietnam. "Everything depends on Vietnam. We will be as active in our relations as the Vietnamese leadership allows us," the President remarked.

“As for the development of international relations, Belarus and Vietnam have similar views: we are in favor of a multipolar world. Whether we want it or not, a multipolar world is here to stay. In this regard, in a rapidly changing world, a very complex, ambiguous world, security issues come first. I hope that your visit to Belarus will contribute to the strengthening of our relations in security,” the head of state said.

In turn, Luong Tam Quang said that the visit of a delegation from the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security to Belarus would contribute to deepening friendly relations between the two countries.

“I would like to confirm that the current visit of the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security delegation to Belarus will contribute to deepening friendly relations not only between the two countries but also between their law enforcement agencies,” the Vietnamese minister said. “The visit is of high significance. I think it will be a good stimulus for the development of relations between the agencies of Belarus and Vietnam.”
