Although some exchanges between high-ranking officials are put on hold due to COVID-19, he voiced his belief that Vietnam and Mongolia will surmount difficulties triggered by the pandemic and resume such activities.
The Vietnamese leader rejoiced at the successful organization of the 16th and 17th meetings of the Inter-Governmental Committee in an attempt to address bottlenecks and bolster trade promotion.
He expressed his hope that the bilateral relations will continue to prosper in the future, and transport conditions between the two nations will be more favorable to facilitate businesses' shipments of goods.
He took the occasion to thank the Mongolian Government for paying attention to and assisting Vietnamese people who are studying, working and living in the country, especially in the context of COVID-19.
The leader believed that the Mongolian diplomat will further contribute to the countries’ relationship in his new positions.
President Phuc extended the best regards to his Mongolian counterpart Ukhnaa Khurelsukh, affirming that under his leadership, the East Asian nation will continue to obtain new achievements.
Ambassador Bilegdorj Dash, for his part, said that he has exerted efforts in strengthening the countries’ ties across multiple fields since the start of his term.
