The two leaders affirmed that President Tran Dai Quang’s visit
is an important landmark in bilateral ties on the occasion of the 55th
anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relationship. They expressed the belief
that the outcomes of the first visit by a Vietnamese President will help
consolidate political trust, expand cooperation in trade, investment,
agriculture, education and training, and promote cultural and
people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
The leaders agreed to increase the exchange of all-level
delegations through the channels of their governments, parliaments,
localities, people and businesses, while optimising existing cooperative
mechanisms such as the inter-governmental committee and political consultation,
thus strengthening their strategic trust.
They expressed satisfaction at the two countries’ sound
cooperation at regional and international forums such as the United Nations,
the Non-Aligned Movement, the African Union and the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN), particularly their support of each other in running
for seats in UN agencies. Egypt valued Vietnam’s candidacy to be a
non-permanent member of the UN Security Council in 2020-2021 term. The two
sides called on the international community to join hands to prevent and
settle armed conflicts by peaceful measures in line with the UN Charters and
international law.

joining the ASEAN Treaty of Amity and Cooperation. The country pledged to
support Vietnam in increasing cooperation with Africa and to work as a bridge
between Vietnam and the African Union.
The two leaders agreed to continue promote bilateral ties in the
fields of trade and investment, and committed to creating all possible
favourable conditions to their businesses to access each other’s markets.
To soon achieve the goal of 1 billion USD in bilateral trade,
the two leaders held that the two countries should take synchronous measures,
including advocating liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment,
supporting a rule-based, fair and inclusive multilateral trade system in
which the World Trade Organisation plays the central role. They agreed to
increase the exchange of business delegations and the sharing of information,
and to hold regular trade fairs and exhibitions, while seeking business and
investment opportunities in new fields such as garment-textiles, leather
shoes, manufacturing mechanics, consumer goods, food processing, among
others.
The two sides highly valued bilateral cultural cooperation and
agreed to early organize cultural days/week and exchange in their respective
countries. Discussing in depth regional and international issues, the two
sides held that peace and stability in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and
Africa or any other regions in the world is essential for human kind’s development
and prosperity. They vowed readiness to work together for progress and
prosperity of their respective regions.
The two sides affirmed the importance of international
cooperation in fighting terrorism, which is a common threat of peace-loving
nations. They supported seeking peaceful solutions to the crises in several
Middle East countries to ensure those countries’ unification.
The two leaders reiterated support of the legitimate rights of
the Palestinian people and the need for peaceful negotiation in order to
reach a fair, comprehensive and final agreement for the Palestine issue on
the basis of the two-State solution and the borderline before 1967 with East
Jerusalem being the capital of the State of Palestine.
The two sides reiterated the wish and resolve to maintain a sea
order in accordance with principles of international law as expressed in the
