HÀ NỘI — State President Lương Cường hosted separate receptions in Hà Nội on Monday for the Ambassadors of Greece, Colombia, Panama, along with six other non-resident ambassadors who came to present their credentials to begin their duties in Việt Nam.
Welcoming Greek Ambassador Antonios Papakostas, President Cường expressed his belief that the diplomat will act as a bridge contributing positively to further strengthening the traditional friendship between the two countries.
He thanked Greece for being one of the earliest partners to ratify the EU-Việt Nam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA), and expressed his delight at the positive development in bilateral trade cooperations.
However, President Cường noted that the investment cooperation remains modest compared to the potential for growth in the economic, trade and investment sectors.
The President requested the ambassador, during his tenure, to work closely with Vietnamese partners to promote measures that further enhance bilateral cooperation, including efforts to sign several cooperation agreements in areas of mutual interest to create a legal framework for businesses from both countries to expand their bilateral collaboration.
Showing his hope that both sides will continue to effectively use the EU-Việt Nam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), President Cường urged Greece to prompt other EU countries to soon ratify the EVIPA, support the European Commission in lifting its 'yellow card' warning against Vietnamese seafood to ensure livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of fishermen and meet the interests of European consumers.
The State leader commended the active cooperation between the two countries and their consistent mutual support at multilateral forums and international organisations. He expressed his desire for continued close collaboration at the United Nations, and the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), and in promoting ASEAN-EU relations in the coming time.
For his part, Papakostas vowed to contribute to further promoting friendship and cooperation between the two countries.

Congratulating Camila Maria Polo Flores on her appointment as the Colombian Ambassador to Việt Nam, President Cường expressed his confidence that the diplomat will make significant contributions to further enhancing the friendship and collaboration between Việt Nam and Colombia in a more substantive and effective direction for the benefit of each country.
The State leader showed his desire for both sides to maintain existing cooperation mechanisms and continue actively supporting each other at multilateral forums, especially the UN.
He also appreciated Colombia's successful chairmanship of the 2024 Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit, and emphasised the importance of its close cooperation with Vietnam in successfully hosting P4G 2025 next month.
Ambassador Flores shared that her mission during this term is to further promote bilateral relations, especially by coordinating with relevant Vietnamese agencies to organise celebrations of the 50th founding anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Confirming that Việt Nam is a model of development and economic growth in recent years, which Colombia can learn from, the diplomat stated that Colombia, as a developing country like Việt Nam, is ready to cooperate with the Southeast Asian nation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and clean energy, as well as support it at multilateral and international forums.
Regarding the direction of future cooperation, President Cường suggested the ambassador, during her tenure in Việt Nam, work closely with local agencies and localities to further strengthen the multifaceted relations between the two countries, particularly in politics-diplomacy, economy, trade, investment, culture, tourism and people-to-people exchanges.
The State, ministries and sectors of Việt Nam will closely coordinate with and create all favourable conditions for the ambassador to successfully complete her term of service in the country, he pledged.

He also encouraged coordination in organising activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations to strengthen bilateral collaboration.

He expressed his hope that the diplomat will serve as a bridge to consolidate and develop the friendship and multi-faceted cooperation between the two countries, affirming the Vietnamese State, ministries and sectors will create favourable conditions for the Ambassador to successfully complete her tenure in Việt Nam.
President Cuong also took the occasion to convey an invitation to Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino and his spouse to visit Việt Nam.
The Panamanian diplomat, for her part, expressed her honour to be appointed as the head of Panama's diplomatic mission in Việt Nam. She conveyed her deep impression with Việt Nam's long-standing culture and her special affection for the country and its people, where she had previously lived and worked.

Also on March 17, President Cường received credentials from the non-resident ambassadors of Liberia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Portugal, and Tanzania, affirming that this event marked a new milestone in the development of relations between Việt Nam and these countries.
Highlighting Việt Nam's major celebrations in 2025, including 80th founding anniversary of the nation and 50th anniversary of national reunification, President Cường said that Việt Nam is entering a new era – the era of the nation’s rise with development and prosperity for the people.
Việt Nam is determined to realise its development objectives by 2030 when it marks the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of Việt Nam, and become a developed country with high income by 2045 when it celebrates the 100th anniversary of the nation’s founding.
Việt Nam always highly values and cherishes peace and stability, and always bears in mind the assistance of international friends during the past struggle for national liberation and the current process of national construction and defence, he said, emphasising Việt Nam has consistently pursued a foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, friendship, cooperation and development, diversification and multilateralisation of external relations, and is always a reliable friend, partner, and active and responsible member of the international community.
Sharing the goal of elevating bilateral relations to new heights, he expressed his hope that the ambassadors will work with Việt Nam to further explore cooperation potential, increase delegation exchanges, especially at high levels, share development experiences, bolster economic, trade, and investment cooperation, particularly in complementary fields, and enhance people-to-people exchanges.
Amid complicated developments in the world, the President said he is confident that the countries will partner with Việt Nam at multilateral forums to address global issues, build a peaceful world with a fair political and economic order based on the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and international law. — VNS
