Mikhail Mishustin: Comrade Luong Cuong, friends,
We have a pleasant occasion to meet.
By the decision of President of Russia Vladimir Putin, you have been awarded Russian state honours – the Order of Friendship, in recognition of your contributions to advancing Russian-Vietnamese cooperation and strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership between our countries.
We sincerely cherish the bonds of friendship that have linked the Russian and Vietnamese peoples throughout history. This tradition is our common asset, and each of you has made a significant personal contribution to furthering it.
I would like to thank you for your work. I wish you good health, new achievements and prosperity. I am confident that you have many more achievements ahead as you work for the benefit of the citizens of Russia and Vietnam.
