For her part, NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thị Kim Ngan thanked the President of the Belarusian Upper House for his visit to Vietnam and attendance of President Tran Dai Quang’s State funeral, and said that his attendance demonstrates special sentiment and encouragement for the Party, State, people of Vietnam and President Quang’s family.

At the meeting, the two sides discussed cooperation between the two countries and law-making bodies. They agreed that Vietnam and Belarus are enjoying a close friendship but still have great potential for more cooperation in various fields.

They said the two sides should expand parliamentary cooperation to promote economic cooperation between Europe and Asia and between Vietnam and Belarus. On the basis of the free trade agreement between Vietnam and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the two countries’ legislative bodies will create favorable legal conditions for their enterprises to boost investment and trade.
