Receiving Canadian Ambassador James Nickel, President Cuong affirmed that Vietnam always treasures and seeks to further deepen its Comprehensive Partnership with Canada with mutual benefit, in a concrete, substantive, positive, and effective manner.
Noting that Canada is currently the only G7 country that has yet to establish a Strategic Partnership with Vietnam, President Cuong proposed that the two sides continue to expand the framework of the Comprehensive Partnership, deepen bilateral relations, and work towards elevating the partnership in the near future.
