Venezuelan leadership has formally extended congratulations to Tô Lâm following his unanimous re-election by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV). The message, delivered via Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez’s official Telegram channel, characterized the decision as a profound demonstration of confidence from both the Party and the Vietnamese citizenry in President Lâm’s leadership.
Rodríguez, acting on behalf of the Venezuelan government and its people, utilized the diplomatic communication to reiterate a strong commitment to strengthening the existing relationship between the two nations. She explicitly expressed a desire to ‘continue deepening the bonds of friendship, solidarity, and cooperation with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.’
The statement further framed the bilateral partnership within a broader geopolitical context, emphasizing a shared vision for international relations. Rodríguez affirmed that the two countries stand ‘united in the defense of sovereignty, the self-determination of peoples, and the construction of a multicentric and multipolar international order.’ This endorsement occurred in conjunction with the closing proceedings of the CPV’s 14th National Congress, where the leadership transition was formally ratified.
