He recalled the ceremony commemorating the 52nd anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam-Chile diplomatic relations, jointly organized by the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations and the Embassy of Chile in Vietnam on March 25, 2023, in Hanoi, with the attendance of former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet.

Highly valuing the positive developments in bilateral relations, especially following State President Luong Cuong’s visit to Chile in November 2024, Phan Anh Son stated that the Union will closely coordinate with the Embassy of Chile in Vietnam and the Vietnam-Chile Friendship and Cooperation Association to implement practical and effective programs commemorating the 55th anniversary of Vietnam-Chile diplomatic relations.
