During the talks, Hang highlighted the positive developments in political and diplomatic ties in recent times, notably the official visit to Vietnam by Kyrgyz Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliev in March 2025 and the meeting between Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Prime Minister Kasymaliev on the sidelines of the 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Tianjin, China, in June 2025.

This includes expediting negotiations towards the signing of key legal frameworks for bilateral cooperation such as an economic cooperation agreement, an agreement on the encouragement and protection of investment, a double taxation avoidance agreement, and a visa exemption agreement, thereby deepening the traditional friendship between Vietnam and Kyrgyzstan.
