Hanoi (VNA) – Nguyen Phuong Nga, President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO), has expressed her hope that Vietnam and Mozambique will maximise their strengths to deepen their cooperation and traditional friendship.
At a reception for Mozambican Assembly Speaker Esperanca Laurinda Francisco Nhiuane Bias in Hanoi on June 20, Nga highlighted the fine traditional friendship and similarities shared by the two countries, as well as their solidarity and mutual support during past struggles for national liberation, and the present cause of national construction and development.
She affirmed the importance Vietnam attaches to relations with traditional friends, including Mozambique, and noted her hope that the visit by the Speaker and her entourage will contribute to consolidating and enhancing the traditional friendship and multi-faceted cooperation, and that the two legislatures will forge their cooperation in an effective and pragmatic manner.
Reviewing major activities held by the VUFO and the Vietnam-Africa Friendship and Cooperation Association for Vietnam-Mozambique relations, Nga suggested the Speaker urge Mozambican agencies and organisations to pay more heed to enhancing the friendship.
She also called on the foreign leader to facilitate cooperation between agencies and organisations of the two countries in cultural and people-to-people diplomacy.
For her part, Bias said Mozambique wishes to strengthen its cooperation and friendship with Vietnam, stressing that the cooperation agreement reached by the two legislatures earlier the same day is expected to contribute to boosting the legislative ties in the future.
She also pledged to work as a bridge helping to consolidate, tighten and promote the two nations' time-honoured friendship./.
President of the Assembly of Mozambique Esperanca Laurinda Francisco Nhiuane Bias’s upcoming official visit to Vietnam this month is expected to strengthen and spur the two countries’ traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation, particularly in the parliamentary sphere.
Nguyen Xuan Ky, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee, hosted a reception on June 18 for President of the Assembly of Mozambique Esperanca Laurinda Francisco Nhiuane Bias, who has been paying an official visit to Vietnam.
Vietnam attaches special importance to its traditional cooperation and friendship with Mozambique and views the latter as one of the five African countries with which it prioritises political - diplomatic and economic ties, said National Assembly (NA) Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.
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.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.
The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.
Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the Central Public Security Party Committee must be fully aware of the extremely important role of the People's Public Security force in the country's new revolutionary phase, so as to guide each branch and level of the force as the nation undergoes transformation.
Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
