The European nation stands ready to share its technologies, support the establishment of new enterprises, and build joint ventures manufacturing technical products in Viet Nam and boost the supply of foodstuffs and fertilisers for the Southeast Asian nation, he added.
Belarusian President Lukashenko voiced his delight at Viet Nam’s economic growth and maintenance of a peaceful and stable environment for development amid uncertainties in the region and the world.
He informed the Vietnamese ambassador that Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko would visit Viet Nam in the coming time to discuss bilateral cooperation in recent years and in the future, affirming that Viet Nam will always be a friend of Belarus.
Speaking to local media, the Vietnamese diplomat underlined that Viet Nam and Belarus hold huge cooperation potential and may double the bilateral trade turnover, adding that the countries will exert efforts to deepen the bilateral cooperation.
This year marks the 30th founding anniversary of Viet Nam-Belarus diplomatic ties (January 24, 1992 - 2022).
Two-way trade exceeded 200 million USD in 2021. Viet Nam shipped rubber products, nuts, fish fillets, integrated circuits and canned food to Belarus while importing fertilisers, animal feed, and pharmaceutical products and cosmetics from the European country.
