Both ministers affirmed that President Cuong’s visit marked a significant milestone, opening a new chapter in the friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and Angola. They agreed to enhance close coordination between the two Ministries of Foreign Affairs to effectively implement the outcomes of the visit.

Both sides committed to concretising priority cooperation programmes in areas such as agriculture, food security, and rice production, while promoting business exchanges and expanding collaboration in trade, investment, and economic sectors.

They also agreed to make full use of existing cooperation mechanisms, especially the Vietnam–Angola Intergovernmental Committee, and to increase the exchange of delegations at all levels to realise the reached agreements.

On this occasion, Deputy Prime Minister Son called on the Angolan side to continue facilitating favourable conditions for the Vietnamese community to live, work, and do business in their host country, contributing to people-to-people ties and the overall development of both countries.

He also extended an invitation to Minister Tete Antonio to visit Vietnam at the earliest opportunity, which Antonio gladly accepted.
