Speaking at the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Minh expressed his thanks to the Ambassador and the Algerian Embassy for choosing the University of Social Sciences and Humanities to host this important event. This is a valuable opportunity for young Vietnamese people to gain more understanding of the traditional cooperative relationship between Algeria and Vietnam.
Professor Pham Quang Minh shared: In the past, Vietnam and Algeria were two countries invaded and occupied by the colonial regime. The two peoples bravely rose up to fight, overthrow that domination and established the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Democratic and People's Republic of Algeria. Vietnam and Algeria built a close diplomatic relationship based on deep sympathy in the two countries' struggle against French colonialism. On October 28, 1962, immediately after Algeria gained independence, the two countries officially established diplomatic relations. Since then, the cooperative relationship between the two countries has developed strongly in many fields of politics, economics, culture and society.
Mr. Mohamed Berrah - Ambassador of the Republic of Algeria to Vietnam summarized the milestones in diplomatic relations between the two countries.
