‘Vietnam always considers Mongolia an important partner in the region’, Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chiinh told Mongolian Minister of Defence G.Saikhanbayar on Tuesday.

At a reception held in Hanoi for the minister, who is on an official visit and will attend the Vietnam International Defence Expo 2022, the Vietnamese Government leader said he believes that the visit will contribute to enhancing mutual understanding and trust, and lifting the traditional friendships between the two countries and defence cooperation to new heights.

The two sides are pleased to see that the relationship between Vietnam and Mongolia has been continuously consolidated and developed after nearly 70 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties. Cooperation in the fields of politics, diplomacy, economy, trade, investment, agriculture, and education has been promoted by leaders at all levels and produced practical results.

They shared the view that in the context of complicated developments globally and regionally, it is necessary to strengthen their solidarity and enhance mutual trust, understanding and support.
