Ambassador Azeddine Bechka will continue to support cooperation between the two associations and facilitate an early visit by the Algeria-Viet Nam Friendship Association to Viet Nam.
Second, enhancing coordination between the Algerian Embassy in Viet Nam and the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations in organizing people-to-people diplomatic activities.
Third, the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations stands ready to coordinate with and support the Algerian Embassy in Viet Nam in organizing visits and working sessions with localities across Viet Nam, thereby exploring opportunities for economic, trade, and investment cooperation.

President Phan Anh Son stated that the affection between the peoples of Viet Nam and Algeria stems from a shared spirit of solidarity in the historical struggle against foreign invaders. The victory of Viet Nam’s struggle for independence became a source of inspiration for many national liberation movements around the world, including in Algeria.
The close ties between the peoples of the two countries were concretely expressed by the establishment of the Viet Nam-Algeria Friendship Association in 1986. Fifteen years later, the Algeria-Viet Nam Friendship Association was also founded.
Speaking at the meeting, Ambassador Azeddine Bechka expressed admiration for Viet Nam’s economic development achievements. He emphasized that Viet Nam serves as a model and a source of inspiration for Algeria in its economic development journey. The government and people of Algeria have always held deep affection for Viet Nam. Currently, there are two boulevards in Algeria named after President Ho Chi Minh, symbolizing the solidarity and friendship between the two countries.

He expressed the hope that the two countries would continue to strengthen cooperation in the fields of politics, education, and the arts, while also expanding into new areas where both sides have strengths and potential.
Agreeing with the three proposals presented by President Phan Anh Son, Ambassador Azeddine Bechka affirmed that the Algerian Embassy in Viet Nam, as well as he personally, will continue to work closely with the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations in exchanging information, organizing delegation visits, and contributing to further deepening the friendship between the peoples of the two countries.
