Despite the complicated world and regional situation, Việt Nam has sustained high economic growth, continuous life improvements, stable political and security environment, and its increasingly elevated role and position on the international stage, he said.

The host commended the lessons learned from the Communist Party of Việt Nam (CPV), Vietnam’s diplomatic policies, its flexible and adaptive responses to global and regional complex developments.

Close and effective collaboration between the two legislatures, including exchanges and sharing of experience in legislation and supervision, will contribute to tightening and further deepening partnership between the two nations and their legislative bodies in particular, he said.

Both sides agreed to effectively coordinate joint oversight activities to ensure the successful fulfillment of high-level agreements and plans, work closely together to hold major events in both countries; share experience in fields of concern, especially in institutional building, legal system and supreme oversight of state agencies.

They committed to promoting economic cooperation to match the depth of their special bilateral relationship, with clear priorities and focal points.

Host and guest vowed to stand united and offer mutual support at global and regional parliamentary forums, including the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF), and the Parliamentary Assembly of La Francophonie (APF), among others.
