Vladimir Putin extended his condolences to President of Vietnam To Lam on the passing of General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam Comrade Nguyen Phu Trong.
The message reads, in part:
“Nguyen Phu Trong devoted his whole life to serving his homeland. Over the years of serving in high-responsibility state and party posts, he has earned deep respect from his compatriots and significant weight in international affairs. In Russia, he will always be remembered as a true friend of our country, who made a great personal contribution to the establishment and development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between Moscow and Hanoi.
I had a chance to spend time with this wonderful person many times, and I will forever cherish the memory of him. I ask you to convey my words of sincere sympathy and support to the family and friends of the deceased, as well as to all the friendly people of Vietnam.”
