To effectively harness their potential and strengths, Prime Minister Chinh suggested both sides continue to strengthen delegation exchanges, especially at the high level, and cooperate at multilateral forums. He also encouraged the two sides to make efforts to boost bilateral economic and trade relations, which are still modest compared to their potential and strengths, and create conditions for their businesses to enhance investment collaboration, and maintain the effectiveness of the Intergovernmental Committee.

The two countries should promote cooperation in other areas, including security, defence, information technology, digital transformation, clean energy, industry, agriculture, education and culture, he said.

Highlighting education-training as a traditional area of cooperation, Prime Minister Chinh stressed the necessity to increase scholarship exchanges, especially in fundamental sciences, arts, and training of high-quality human resources in fields that align with global development trends. He also urged both sides to promote cooperation in automobile production, agricultural machinery manufacturing, and railway transport development.
