Proposing the two nations enhance political trust and mutual understanding, he affirmed that the Egyptian Senate is eager to strengthen cooperation with the National Assembly of Vietnam and will take all necessary measures to support the two states and governments in effectively and substantively implementing commitments and cooperation plans, for the benefit of their people.
For his part, President Luong Cuong emphasized that there remains significant untapped potential for Vietnam and Egypt to further strengthen their bilateral cooperation, especially in economy, trade, and investment, to be commensurate with the strong political relationship and the respective advantages of each country.
He proposed the two parliaments closely coordinate and support the effective implementation of bilateral collaboration mechanisms, facilitate negotiations, and finalize policies and agreements to improve the legal framework, thus helping to enhance business-to-business cooperation, open markets for each other's goods, and foster greater people-to-people connectivity.
The two leaders agreed to promote the role of parliamentary diplomacy and strengthen cooperation between the two legislative bodies by stepping up delegation exchanges to share legislative and supervision experiences, continuing close coordination at multilateral inter-parliamentary forums, and promoting exchanges between young and female parliamentarians.
They also reached consensus on the early establishment of Vietnam – Egypt and Egypt - Vietnam Friendship Parliamentarians Groups to facilitate regular communication and jointly propose measures to boost parliamentary cooperation.
