The top legislator and his entourage were greeted at the airport by Iqbalur Rahim, member of the Parliament; K.M. Abdus Salam, Senior Secretary of the Bangladesh Parliament; and representatives of the Vietnamese Embassy in Bangladesh.

Since Vietnam and Bangladesh set up their diplomatic relations on February 11, 1973, their traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation have been continuously developed with political trust enhanced, which laid a firm foundation for the two nations to promote partnership across all fields.

Over the past 50 years, the two sides have stood by stood and support each other during national construction, defence and economic development in each country.

Along with maintaining regular high-level visits and meetings, the two sides have agreed to work closely to build a long-term vision for the bilateral relations, increase visits at high and all levels, strengthen meetings of existing cooperation mechanisms, and consider the resumption and upgrading of the Joint Committee on economic, culture, science and technology cooperation in the time to come.

NA Chairman Hue’s visit takes place in the context of the good development of Vietnam-Bangladesh friendship and at a time when the two countries are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations (1973 - 2023).
