Huge potential for building stronger Vietnam-Malaysia links
VOV.VN - Vietnam and Malaysia still have plenty of room to enhance co-operation thanks to each side’s internal strengths and opportunities brought about by the digital economic era and Industry 4.0.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Malaysia Dinh Ngoc Linh made the statement on October 12 while addressing a ceremony held to mark the 78th National Day of Vietnam (September 2, 1945-2023), as well as the 50th anniversary of both nations’ diplomatic ties.
He recalled the official visit to Vietnam by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in July, saying that it helped to consolidate the political foundation, whilst also creating fresh momentum to develop bilateral co-operation in politics, economics, defence, security, digital economy, cyber security, and response to non-traditional security challenges.
With this great potential, the traditional bilateral friendship and all-around co-operation will make great strides over the coming years, bringing about benefits to the two peoples whilst further contributing to peace and prosperity in the region. Malaysian Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ewon Benedick affirmed that the country is an important partner of Malaysia, both at the bilateral level and within the ASEAN framework.
The 50th founding anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations is a historical milestone recognising the long-term relationship that the two countries have cultivated over the years, as well as the need to continue to boost closer partnership moving forward to build up mutual understanding and collaboration for common prosperity and peace, he added.
At the event, a total of 50 photos featuring the two countries’ relations and Vietnam’s heritage and landscapes were displayed.
Around 500 guests were also treated to Vietnamese dishes, and art performances, together with an Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional dress) show.
