President Cuong expressed Vietnam’s enduring gratitude for Mongolia’s support during the national struggle for independence in the past as well as the development efforts nowadays, noting Mongolia’s recognition of Vietnam as its “third neighbor” and primary partner in Southeast Asia.
He welcomed the signing of a cooperation agreement between the two Presidential Offices, describing this as a significant move to foster their close collaboration as well as the comprehensive partnership between the two countries in the coming time.
The two sides should bring the signed documents into full play, particularly those on economy, trade, investment, security, defense, education, and cooperation at local level, he said, suggesting them continue support for each other at international forums.
The President took the occasion to ask the Mongolian side to continue creating favorable conditions for the Vietnamese community, helping them better integrate into the host nation and promote their role in bridging the two countries’ friendship. Given the sound bilateral ties, the Vietnamese Party, State, and people stand ready to share experience with Mongolia in the areas that Vietnam boast strengths and the latter have demand.
Gombojav Zandanshatar, for his part, congratulated Vietnam on the success it has carved out over the past four decades of Doi moi (renewal) and expressed his hope that Vietnam will achieve its goal of becoming a high-income developed nation soon.
He said he hopes that the two countries, building upon their 70-year relationship, will maintain the exchange of delegations at all levels to improve political trust while bolstering collaboration across all areas such as economy, trade, investment, security and defense that are in line with their people’s interests.
