She stressed that Mozambique attaches great importance to its ties with Vietnam and hopes to expand collaboration into new areas such as mining, energy, telecommunications, digital transformation, and aquaculture, alongside traditional sectors like healthcare, education, and agriculture.
Ambassador Thin conveyed Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s congratulations to PM Levi on her recent inauguration and extended his best wishes to Mozambique on the 50th anniversary of its independence. Thin also expressed her appreciation for the achievements of the Mozambican government in its first six months under Levi’s leadership, particularly in administrative reform and economic recovery.

PM Levi directed relevant ministries and agencies to work closely with the Vietnamese Embassy to effectively implement future cooperative activities.
The same day, during a meeting with Mozambican Minister of National Defense Cristóvão Artur Chume, the two sides concurred to strengthen defense cooperation, particularly in areas such as mine clearance, post-war recovery, disaster response, and the defense industry.
