Le Hoai Trung informed him of the successful 14th Congress of the CPV and expressed the steadfast stand of the CPV to develop the friendly relations between Vietnam and the DPRK which have been firmly consolidated on the road of advancing the socialist cause.

Both sides discussed the issue of strengthening the political ties between the WPK and the CPV and other topics of common concern and reached a consensus of views on them.

Present there from the DPRK side were Vice Department Director Mun Song Hyok and other officials of the International Department of the WPK Central Committee and from the Vietnamese side the special envoy's party and Le Ba Vinh, Vietnamese ambassador to the DPRK. -0-
