Present there from the WPK side were members of its delegation led by Secretary of the Central Committee Kim Yong Il, who is alternate member of the Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK, and Kim Chang Il, DPRK ambassador to Vietnam, and from the Vietnamese side members of the delegation of the CPV headed by Hoang Binh Quan, chairman of the Commission for External Affairs who is member of the C.C., CPV.

At the talks held in friendly atmosphere both sides informed of the activities of their parties and exchanged views on boosting the friendly relations between the two parties and two countries and matters of mutual concern.

Hoang Binh Quan warmly congratulated once again the dear respected Kim Jong Un on his election as first secretary of the WPK at the Fourth Conference of the WPK in April and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK at the Fifth Session of the 12th Supreme People's Assembly.

The WPK and the Korean people will surely build a thriving socialist nation under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un, he said, and went on:

Leader Kim Jong Il's untimely passing away last year was a big loss to the WPK and Korean people.

The grand celebrations of the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung and the 70th birth anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il fully demonstrated the might of the single-minded unity of the Korean people.

The CPV supports the principled stand of the WPK for peace, stability and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and is strongly opposed to all forms of blockade and sanctions against the DPRK and interference in its internal affairs.

The CPV and Vietnamese people will always remember the sincere assistance rendered by the WPK and the Korean people and them in the past.
