The State President made the statement during receptions for
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Rwanda Louise Mushikiwabo and
Guinean Foreign Minister Mamadi Toure in Hanoi on August 7.
He applauded the African ministers for their first visits to
Vietnam, expressing his belief that the trips will contribute to effectively
promoting bilateral relations between Vietnam and Rwanda and Guinea and the
countries, thus optimising the interests of the countries.
President Quang congratulated the two countries on achievements
of political stability and socio-economic development in recent times,
affirming that Vietnam appreciates the role and contributions of Guinean
President Anpha Conde and Rwandan President Paul Kagame as the rotating
presidents of the African Union in 2017 and 2018 in promoting peace,
development, regional and international integration of Africa.
He also spoke highly positive steps of development in political
and economic ties, and mutual support and coordination between Vietnam and
the two African countries at multilateral forums, especially the United
Nations.
On the basis of sound political relations, the similarity of
development level and need, Vietnam and African countries have been
successfully implementing many cooperation projects on agriculture,
telecommunication, health and education, President Quang said.
These are important premises for the countries to expand
cooperation across fields, thus brining benefits to Vietnamese people and
those in Africa, including Rwanda and Guinea.
President Quang asked the sides to enhance exchange of all-level
delegations, towards deepening their cooperation and fully tapping their
potential.
He also urged the sides to devise specific measures boost trade
ties, and improve legal frameworks to facilitate stronger multi-faceted
collaboration between Vietnam and the two countries.
With the success of Vietnam’s agricultural projects in many
African countries, Vietnam is willing to share its experience with Rwanda and
Guinea in the field through bilateral or multilateral cooperation, he
affirmed.
The Vietnamese leader hoped that the two countries would create
favourable conditions for Vietnamese investors and businesses to make their
inroads in the two countries in the future.
He took the occasion to invite the Presidents of Rwanda and
Guinea to visit Vietnam in the coming time.
For their part, the African ministers highlighted the
traditional friendship between Rwanda and Guinea and Vietnam, saying that the
three countries experienced difficult historical periods and are now on the
path of development.
Agreeing with President Quang’s opinion on measures to foster
the relations between Rwanda and Guinea and Vietnam, they affirmed their
countries are willing to bolster cooperation with Vietnam in all fields.
