The two countries have also coordinated with each other at multi-lateral mechanisms, especially the United Nations, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement. 

Vietnam and Peru boast a lot of potential for cooperation, President Quang said, urging the two countries to deepen their bilateral ties and intensify the exchange of all-level delegations in order to increase mutual understanding and development. 

For his part, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski affirmed that Peru attaches importance to development cooperation with Vietnam and will create optimal conditions for Vietnamese investors in the country.

The two leaders also talked about regional and global issues of shared concern and consented to continue coordination at the UN, APEC, the Forum for East Asia-Latin America Cooperation (FEALAC) and other multilateral cooperation frameworks.
