Association.
Speaking at the event, Minister Hoan stressed
that over the past seven decades, the Vietnam- Mongolia friendship, solidarity,
and cooperation have been growing into a fine example of the enduring
friendship that has weathered the challenges of time and geographical distance.
He recalled several achievements in bilateral
cooperation in recent years, saying that the two nations established a
political consultation mechanism at the deputy foreign ministerial level, with
10 meetings held since 2002. Additionally, the Vietnam-Mongolia
Inter-Governmental Committee has held 18 meetings since 1979, with the 19th
taking place in Hanoi from November 18-23. These meetings proposed directions
and measures to further bolster bilateral ties.
The Governments and people of both countries
have consistently worked to build and strengthen their relationship across
politics, economy, trade, investment, national defence- security, law
enforcement, education, culture, sports, tourism, and at global and regional
forums. Their friendship and cooperation have developed over many decades,
becoming a solid foundation that deepens mutual understanding and respect
between their peoples, contributing to the stable and sustainable development
of their bilateral relationship and strategic partnership.
Minister Enkhbayar said the 70th anniversary of
the ties is an important step in fostering bilateral friendship. He also
pledged to continue supporting and promoting mutually beneficial business
activities for both Vietnam and Mongolia to fulfill the commitments by their
leaders.
The People's Committee of Hoa Binh province has held a conference to review the implementation of its foreign non-governmental aid mobilisation programme in 2024. Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Chuong attended and delivered a keynote address at the event.
Welcoming the delegation, Toan provided them with an overview of the province's labour and employment situation, emphasising that in recent years, the provincial Party Committee and authorities have paid significant attention to labour export, created favourable conditions and offered policy support to promote the sending of local workers abroad under contracts.
Mutual love and support is a long-standing tradition of Vietnam. In any circumstance, the Vietnamese people always uphold the traditional spirit of staying united and supporting one another to surmount difficulties and adversities. Continuing this fine tradition, in the face of the 1945 famine, President Ho Chi Minh initiated the "Rice jar to save the hungry” movement and took the lead in implementing this campaign by abstaining from one meal each week to save rice for those without food. His example of morality and affection for people has been and is being followed by residents across Hoa Binh province.
