The deputy ministers informed each other of the situation in their respective countries and regions, and exchanged views on a number of issues of mutual concern.

They discussed a wide range of measures to recover and step up relations in politics, diplomacy, economy, trade, investment, science, technology, health care, education, culture, sports and tourism.

Both Cuong and Gorin emphasised the need to increase the exchange of visits, especially high-ranking delegations, in the future to provide an impetus for the development of the bilateral relationship.

The officials also agreed on measures to strengthen cooperation between the two Ministries of Foreign Affairs and promote their coordination and mutual support at regional and international forums.

Gorin applauded the contributions of overseas Vietnamese in Ukraine and promised to create more favourable conditions for them to legally live and do business in the country.

During his visit from July 26-28, Cuong also worked with the vice head of the Ukrainian government office and met overseas Vietnamese in Kharkov and Kiev.
