Vietnam treasures all-around cooperation with Qatar

During the reception, the Vietnamese State leader hailed the great stride in both nations’  friendship and their exchanges of all-level delegations and mutual support at multilateral forums, adding that last year’s bilateral trade exceeded US$400 million.

In response, Mohamed Ismail Al-Emadi, who has served in Vietnam for six years, thanked the Government and people of Vietnam for offering favourable conditions for him to fulfil his diplomatic mission in the country that he considers his second home.

The diplomat pledged greater efforts to reinforce all-around cooperation no matter what future position he holds.

Phuc suggested Vietnam and Qatar work hand in hand to launch a broad range of activities marking the 30th anniversary of their diplomatic relations next year; and intensifying their exchange of delegations at all levels.

He called on firms and investment funds in Qatar increase their investment in Vietnam.
The countries should soon establish a business council and run investment promotion activities, and business forums, while facilitating join works in energy, oil & gas, and labour, and the opening of direct flight routes, Phuc told his guest.

He also proposed both sides soon organise the 3rd meeting of their intergovernmental committee in 2023 to review and strengthen cooperation for the coming period; and promote the signing of important agreements to form a legal basis for collaboration in maritime, customs, justice, security, culture and tourism.
Phuc used the occasion to invite Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani to visit Vietnam next year.
