The visit aims to affirm the importance Vietnam attaches to the comprehensive cooperative partnership with Myanmar, and its readiness to cooperate with the country in diverse areas, thus further tightening the bilateral partnership.

Since Vietnam and Myanmar upgraded bilateral ties to a comprehensive cooperative partnership in 2017, they have seen strong developments of the bilateral relationship across spheres, bringing benefits to people of both sides.

The two leaders talk after the reception.

Along with stronger political ties at all levels, trust between the two governments and peoples has been increasingly strengthened. The number of Vietnamese enterprises in Myanmar has doubled to over 200 from that in 2016.
