“Comrade Trần Thanh Mẫn!
I express my deepest condolences over the untimely passing of the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyễn Phú Trọng.
It is impossible to overestimate his contribution to strengthening friendly relations between the Russian Federation and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
On behalf of the deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, I ask you to convey words of support to the family and friends of Nguyễn Phú Trọng.
We mourn together with the people of Vietnam.”
