The State leader assured the Chief of the General Staff of Myanmar Armed Forces, Gen. Thura Shwe Mann, of Vietnam’s willingness to share experiences to help Myanmar overcome current difficulties, as well as for mutual development, during their meeting in Hanoi on October 21.
Mr Triet expressed his belief that the current visit by Myanmar general would usher in a new stage of development in the military relationship between the two countries.
“The visit will contribute to strengthening relations between the two peoples as well,” emphasised the State President.
He said he hoped that Myanmar would successfully hold next year’s elections and succeed in overcoming difficulties and challenges to turn the country into one of peace and prosperity.
His view was shared by Gen. Shwe Mann, who said his visit was aimed at strengthening relations between the two armies and the two peoples.
He also said that with the development experiences shared by Vietnam, Myanmar is expected to become more stable and prosperous.
He conveyed an invitation to visit Myanmar from Senior General Than Shwe, Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council of Myanmar to President Triet, who accepted the invitation with pleasure.
