President Truong Tan Sang praised Kuwaiti Ambassador to Vietnam Hamad Saleh Al Jutaili for sparing no effort to further friendship and cooperation between the two countries at a farewell meeting in Hanoi on October 6.
The President expressed his delight at the growing collaboration across important fields such as oil and gas, trade and training.
Kuwait has become one of the leading trade partners of Vietnam in the Middle East with the implementation of many bilateral cooperation mechanisms, he said.
The country has provided Vietnam with official development assistance to develop infrastructure in remote and flood-affected areas, he noted.
The State leader assured the ambassador that Vietnam treasures and hopes to promote friendship and multi-faceted cooperation with Kuwait, proposing the two countries increase all-level delegation exchanges, especially among high-ranking officials.
He recommended both nations continue to support each other at international forums. Vietnam supports Kuwait’s candidacy to the UN Security Council in the 2018-2019 tenure while Kuwait supports Vietnam’s candidacy to the 2016-2018 Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and the 2020-2021 UN Security Council.
He asked the Kuwaiti side to make it easier for Vietnamese goods, especially consumer products, food and electronics, to enter the market.
Vietnam is willing to create favourable conditions for Kuwaiti businesses to invest in oil and gas and infrastructure building, he said.
For his part, the Kuwaiti Ambassador took the occasion to thank Vietnamese ministries and sectors for supporting him to carry out his working tenure in Vietnam.
He expressed his belief that cooperation between the two countries will expand, especially in investment.
He noted that Kuwait is keen to receive more Vietnamese workers and provide more scholarships for Vietnamese students, adding that the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development is willing to assist Vietnam with humanitarian projects.-VNA
Trade relations between Kuwait and Vietnam have made satisfying progress, the Consulate of Kuwait in Ho Chi Minh City said in a statement released for the 54th anniversary of its independence day (February 25).
With its existing “Look East” policy, Kuwait will pour more investments into Vietnam in the coming years, said Omar Al-Qenaei, Kuwaiti Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City.
Vietnam is deeply concerned about and strongly protests against the June 26 terrorist attacks in France, Tunisia and Kuwait, which have claimed the lives of several dozen people and injured hundreds of others, stated Pham Thu Hang, Deputy Spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry.
President Truong Tan Sang on June 28 sent a message of condolence to Kuwai’s emir Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah over the great loss of life caused by the terrorist attack at the Al-Imam Al-Sadiq mosque in Kuwait City.
The State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs (SCOVA) has served as a bridge connecting and uniting the community with the homeland, becoming a trusted source of support for Vietnamese expats in times of hardship.
The programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses has achieved notable results, with nearly 263,000 housing units addressed to date, including 225,000 houses inaugurated and 38,000 under construction. Thirty-eight provinces and cities across the nation have already fulfilled their targets.
Stronger efforts and determination are required to achieve and surpass the set targets, especially in the eradication of makeshift and dilapidated houses nationwide, the acceleration of public investment disbursement, and the implementation of nationally important transport projects, PM Pham Minh Chinh noted.
The trip will be made at the invitations of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and WEF President and CEO Børge Brende, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Long spoke highly of the dynamic, positive, and comprehensive development of Vietnam – Russia relations in recent years. He affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and State place great importance on further strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia in a substantive and effective manner, in line with the development needs of both nations.
At the conference, participants reported that the Government has so far issued 28 decrees on the delegation of responsibilities and powers between the central Government and two-tier local administrations. Several localities have already piloted the new governance model.
Reality is the ultimate benchmark for success, he said, urging drafting agencies to work out policies that foster development, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and respect practical conditions.
Under the official dispatch signed on June 20, ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, and chairpersons of provincial and municipal People’s Committees are requested to concentrate efforts on implementing core measures to ensure the smooth operations of the new administrative framework.
The Party chief underscored the need for the press to innovate relentlessly, evolve to keep pace with the country's development, transform into a truly professional, humanistic, and modern sector that serves the cause of the Party, the State, and the people on the path to national construction and development.
The UN Secretary-General praised Vietnam’s remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and international integration in recent years, noting that the country has emerged as a model in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting international peace and security, and engaging in key UN processes.
Nghia affirmed that this is a milestone of special significance, affirming and honouring the the Vietnamese revolutionary press’s glorious tradition of 100 years of serving the revolutionary cause of the Party, serving the Fatherland, and serving the people.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).
In particular, in April 2023, the two sides successfully carried out a joint operation that dismantled a major organised, transnational drug trafficking ring involving both Vietnamese and Cambodian suspects.
