Van Thuan received 100,000 doses of the vaccine donated for
Vietnam by the Russian Government at a ceremony held in Hanoi on December 29.
Speaking at the handover, Thuan appreciated the assistance
of the Russian Government and people, considering it a source of great encouragement for
Vietnam.
The support is even more meaningful as the two nations are
about to celebrate the 72nd founding anniversary of their diplomatic relations
(January 30, 1950 – 2022), contributing to further strengthening their
traditional friendship and cooperation, the official added.
He vowed to use the vaccine properly in line with Vietnam’s urgent
pandemic prevention and control demand.
Attending the ceremony, Russian Ambassador to Vietnam
Gennady Stepanovich Bezdetko stressed that the two sides should continue working together
in response to the pandemic via specific medical engagements.
Russia will accompany Vietnam in this challenging fight, the
diplomat affirmed./.
