According to the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui met with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Lê Hoài Trung in Pyongyang on the previous day.
The visit comes as momentum has been built between the two traditional allies since Vietnamese President Tô Lâm traveled to Pyongyang in October last year for a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, the first visit by a Vietnamese top leader in some 18 years.
Recalling the summit, Choe said she would work to "deepen friendly ties" with Viet Nam. Lê then responded that his country consistently values and seeks to strengthen friendly and cooperative ties with North Korea.
KCNA also said the two sides vowed to expand exchanges and cooperation in multiple areas including regional and international issues.
