He welcomed the results of talks between Lamothe and his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Tan Dung, which he said will help elevate the two countries’ cooperative relations to a new height.

He said Lamothe’s visit will offer Vietnamese and Haitian people the chance to increase friendship exchanges so as to promote mutual understanding.

Hung suggested that both countries work closely together to fully tap their potential, especially their respective strengths, for peace and development around the world.   

The two States and parliaments also need to increase the exchange of delegations to further develop bilateral relations, said the NA Chairman.

Lamothe praised Vietnam’s socio-economic achievements during the current Doi Moi (Renewal) process, as well as its increasing role globally.

He noted that despite geographical distance Haitian and Vietnamese people have many things in common, especially their past struggle for national liberation.

He confirmed his government’s resolve to increase cooperation in such areas as food security, telecommunications, trade, culture and education with Vietnam.  

At another reception for the Haitian PM, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong stressed that Vietnam always attaches importance to developing friendship and multifaceted cooperation with Haiti, especially in trade, agriculture, services, telecommunications and the processing industry. 

He spoke highly of the results of meetings between Lamothe and top Vietnamese leaders, affirming that Vietnam treasures the development of friendship and cooperation with Latin American countries. 

Lamothe pledged to further deepen ties between the two countries in a more practical and effective manner. He expressed his wish to share national management knowledge with Vietnam and strengthen bilateral ties in many fields, especially food security. 

He revealed that Haiti will soon open an embassy in Hanoi to boost ties with Vietnam.
