The President expressed his delight that leaders of the two countries have
visited each other regularly, helping to unceasingly strengthen and develop the
bilateral traditional friendship.
The two countries have paid heed to intensifying defence-security cooperation,
especially defence industry, logistics and military medicines while speeding up
negotiations on an agreement on the transfer of sentenced persons and an
agreement on mutual protection and exchange of information, he said.
He also noted the two sides’ maintenance of political consultations at deputy
ministerial and department levels of the two foreign ministries and their
sharing of information and experience relating to cooperation with other
countries.
He emphasised the progresses the two countries have achieved in their economic,
trade and investment partnership, and expressed his hope that Mongolia will
make it easy for Vietnam to increase its export of farm and aquatic products,
processed food, consumer commodities, machinery and home appliances to the
country while Mongolia could ship processed meat, textile and garment
materials, minerals, and footwear to Vietnam.
The President suggested the two countries step up political dialogues at all
levels and boost people-to-people, cultural, educational, artistic, and sport
exchanges to further promote mutual understanding; organize market research
tours for businesses; and enhance cooperation in energy, agriculture, and
pharmaceuticals and medicines.
Regarding regional and international issues, he suggested the two sides
continue coordinating at multilateral forums, like the UN, ASEM, ARF, and more,
affirming Vietnam’s readiness to support Mongolia’s connection with other ASEAN
member countries.
The Mongolian guest briefed President Quang on the outcomes of his talks with
Minister of Public Security To Lam, stressing that Mongolia wants to have
stronger cooperation with Vietnam in national security.
He expressed his belief that in 2018, the two countries will sign the
agreements that were discussed and reach consensus on the safeguard of national
security.
Built on the traditional friendship, mutual trust and understanding, Mongolia
wants to boost its economic and trade ties with Vietnam to bring the bilateral
ties to a new height, he said.
On the occasion, he conveyed the invitation to visit Mongolia from President
Khaltmaa Battulga, who is Chairman of the National Security Council of Mongolia
to his host. President Quang accepted the invitation and then asked the
Secretary to relay his invitation to visit Vietnam to President Khaltmaa
Battulga.-
