Expressing his delight at the progress made over the past seven decades since the establishment of the countries’ diplomatic relations, the Party chief commended the organization of the 19th meeting of the Vietnam-Mongolia intergovernmental committee and stressed its importance in implementing high-level common perceptions and the joint statement on upgrading bilateral ties to a comprehensive partnership.

He urged both sides to strengthen their relationship in politics, security, defense, economy-trade, culture, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges.

Minister Jadamba Enkhbayar, who is on a visit to Vietnam to co-chair the 19th meeting, said Lam's recent state visit to Mongolia opened a new chapter in bilateral relations with the issuance of the joint statement.

Underscoring Mongolia’s appreciation for the countries’ traditional friendship and its recognition of Vietnam as a key partner in Asia and a “third neighbor,” the minister said he strongly agrees with the Party chief's recommendations for deepening the relations in the time to come.

As the chairperson of Mongolia's subcommittee in the intergovernmental committee, he pledged to work closely with related Vietnamese agencies to further strengthen bilateral cooperation across various sectors.
