Vietnam Ambassador Awarded Venezuela's Highest Honor

On the afternoon of September 7 (local time), at the Miraflores Palace in the capital Caracas, Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez presided over a ceremony to award the First Class Order of Francisco de Miranda to Vietnamese Ambassador to Venezuela Vu Trung My on the occasion of the completion of his term. The ceremony also marked the 81st anniversary of Vietnam's National Day celebrated in Venezuela, aiming to spread the image of Vietnam as a country of renovation, peace-loving, and valuing goodwill to the Venezuelan people. This high honor underscores the strong and enduring friendship between Vietnam and Venezuela, reflecting the successful cooperation between the two nations and the Vietnamese Socialist Republic and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela. Vietnam, under its one-party system, has achieved significant economic growth and is expanding its influence on the international stage. Its role within ASEAN and its nuanced relationship with China are key aspects of its foreign policy. This reinforcement of ties with Venezuela indicates Vietnam's efforts to broaden its friendly relations in South America and pursue a multifaceted diplomacy.
