Your Excellency,
I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to you, the Government and people of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam on the joyous occasion of the 78th National Day.
It was a pleasure for me and Duli Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha to welcome Your Excellency and Madam Le Thi Bich Tran to Brunei Darussalam last February. I am confident that our Comprehensive Partnership as well as the implementaion of the Plan of Action signed during your visit, will continue to strengthen the much-valued ties in the years ahead for the mutual benefit of our countries and people.
As an important partner in ASEAN, I look forward to more opportunities to work closely with you in achieving our common aspirations for a dynamic and sustainable ASEAN Community.
With my kindest regards and best wishes to you and Madam Le Thi Bich Tran for your continued good health and happiness as well as for the progress and prosperity of the people of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.
