I do believe that the steps we have been taking to strengthen Azerbaijani-Vietnamese relations and expand the traditionally friendly ties and mutual beneficial cooperation will continue to serve the interests of our peoples.
On this holiday, I wish you good health and every success in your activities, and the friendly people of Vietnam peace and prosperity.
