The President also lauded former Chilean President Bachelet, in her capacity as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, for her contributions to UN affairs and the international community.
According to him, the maintenance of all-level delegations is significant to enhancing cooperation between Vietnam and Chile as well as their people.
For her part, former Chilean President Bachelet, who is in Vietnam for the celebration of the 52nd anniversary of the bilateral diplomatic ties (March 25, 1971-2023), said during her stay in Vietnam, she will visit the southern province of Binh Duong and the central province of Nghe An to foster cooperation between localities of the two countries and people-to-people exchange activities.
The guest expressed her special sentiments for Vietnamese land and people, and her admiration for the Vietnamese people’s indomitable and resilient spirit during their past struggle for national independence.

Both Vietnam and Chile are members of the UN Human Rights Council and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), which would facilitate the enhancement of the bilateral ties in the time ahead, both bilaterally and multilaterally, and enable them to join hands to fulfil common goals of the international community, for peace and development, especially climate change response, she noted.
President Thuong affirmed that former Chilean President Bachelet’s visit will contribute to consolidating cooperation between peoples and especially localities of the countries.
He highlighted the close ties between Vietnam and Chile despite their far geographical distance, during both Vietnam’s past struggle for national independence and its present cause of national construction and development.
He suggested the two countries take more measures to forge economic cooperation, for the sake of their businesses and people, step up collaboration at multilateral forums, and further coordinate in organising exchanges between localities and citizens.
