North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui held talks with Vietnamese counterpart Le Hoai Trung in Pyongyang on Wednesday, state media KCNA reported Thursday, as the two countries continue diplomatic engagement.
Both sides agreed on deepening interactions and cooperation in various countries and strengthening strategic communications and support between overseas policy-making organisations, KCNA reported.
"Vietnam places strong emphasis on strengthening its ties with North Korea in a more practical way, (and) reaffirms steadfast commitment to national independence and socialism," Le Hoai Trung said in a post on X.
In Pyongyang, Le Hoai met with top North Korean officials and congratulated them on the "successful" organization of the 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea. He also briefed the hosts on the major outcomes of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Le Hoai is visiting North Korea as a special envoy of President To Lam, state-run media reported Wednesday.
