Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong hosted a reception for UK Prime Minister David Cameron in Hanoi on July 29, stressing that his visit was a significant milestone since the two countries established diplomatic ties 42 years ago.
The host hailed the positive developments in Vietnam-UK ties since they established their strategic partnership in September 2010.
He expressed hope that the UK leader’s visit will improve mutual understanding and strengthen relations between the Communist Party of Vietnam and UK political parties, and promote bilateral cooperation in the fields of trade, investment, education and training.
The Party leader said he hoped that the UK would continue raising its positive voice for the peaceful settlement of disputes in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.
