The Government leader welcomed the chairman and his delegation, while speaking highly of their meetings with Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security. He affirmeding that cooperation in security and law enforcement is a traditional area and one of the pillars of the Strategic Partnership between the two countries, with a high level of trust.

Briefing on Vietnam’s foreign policy, PM said Vietnam attaches importance to its traditional friendship with Belarus and values the support provided by the former Soviet Union and Belarus, most recently during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He expressed his wish to continue developing the Vietnam-Belarus Strategic Partnership for the benefit of both countries and for peace, stability and sustainable development in the region and the world.

He said bilateral ties have seen positive development, with regular exchanges of delegations and high-level meetings, while the intergovernmental committee mechanism has been maintained.

However, trade and investment cooperation remains below the level of political relations and potential. Two-way trade reached US$80 million in 2025. Belarus currently has three projects in Vietnam with total registered capital of US$32.25 million, while Vietnam has one project in Belarus with investment capital of US$0.8 billion.

On that basis, the Government chief proposed increasing exchanges of delegations at all levels, particularly high-level visits, and increasing contacts within international conferences and multilateral forums. He also suggested making better use of the intergovernmental committee mechanism, reviewing and agreeing on measures to resolve difficulties in economic cooperation, and encouraging business investment, especially in areas of Belarus’s strengths such as agriculture, fertilisers, machinery, equipment and chemicals.

He also proposed stronger cooperation in defence and security, as well as in science and technology, education and training, culture, sports, tourism and people-to-people exchanges, including cooperation between localities.

Volkov Alexei Aleksandrovich, for his part,  said that building on effective cooperation over many years, both sides agreed during his visit, particularly in talks with Vietnam’s Minister of Public Security, to further expand and deepen cooperation through exchanges of delegations.

Belarus will support the Ministry of Public Security in training specialists and officers with high expertise in forensic examination and criminal techniques.

He expressed hope for continued support to further strengthen cooperation between the the Belarusian State Forensic Examination Committee and Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security, particularly between localities and training institutions in forensic examination.

PM Chinh agreed with the Chairman’s views and noted the effective cooperation between the Belarus committee and Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security and other relevant agencies. He proposed further augmenting cooperation in forensic examination, including increased exchanges and continued sharing of experience in criminal forensics.

He also proposed stronger cooperation in undergraduate and postgraduate training and professional development at Belarusian training institutions, along with Belarus sending experts to Vietnam for teaching and practical guidance. The two sides should step up organising seminars and conferences on a rotational basis in Vietnam and Belarus, he added.

Through the Chairman, the host leader conveyed his regards to General Secretary To Lam and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Prime Minister Alexander Turchin, expressing confidence that Belarus will continue to develop further in the coming period.
