The government website stated that Vietnam considers the establishment of the Peace Council a necessary step in implementing the Gaza Strip Peace Plan, which was adopted by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2803 of November 17, 2025.
The document added that To Lam accepted the invitation to join the Peace Council and affirmed Vietnam’s willingness to participate in it, to work alongside the United States and the international community toward a comprehensive, long-term solution to the Middle East peace process, including the establishment of a Palestinian State.
The CPV general secretary thus responded to the invitation extended on January 16 by US President Donald Trump, to whom he also proposed that Washington and Hanoi continue cooperating to boost the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries, developing it in an increasingly substantive and effective manner.
The top party leader also urged the US president to enhance cooperation in many areas consistent with the needs and priorities of both sides, based on mutual respect, ensuring the legitimate interests of each nation, and making positive contributions to peace, cooperation, and development in the region and the world.
