The two sides agreed that after the two years of establishing the strategic partnership framework, cooperative relations between the two countries have been growing substantially and effectively across all fields, especially politics, trade, education - training, agriculture, development aid and people-to-people exchanges.
They affirmed that high-level visits between the two countries, including New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s recent trip to Vietnam, and the tour of New Zealand by the CPV delegation, have contributed to strengthening understanding and political trust between the two nations.
The two sides also shared similar views on a number of international and regional issues, including the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the region, and highlighting ASEAN's centrality in the regional security architecture.
The New Zealand side acknowledged and spoke highly of positive contributions of the Vietnamese community living, working and studying in the country to its development and to the friendship between the two nations.
