The Party chief congratulated Mme Buffet on her re-election at the 33rd FCP Congress, and expressed thanks to the valuable support that the FCP and French people provided to Viet Nam in the struggle for national liberation in the past as well as to the present national construction and defence.

She said her party respected and exerted all efforts to develop the traditional solidarity, friendship and cooperation with the CPV, in order to boost the relationship between the two countries in the new period.(VNA)
