Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam attaches great importance to further strengthening traditional friendship and cooperation with Belarus, said Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh while hosting visiting Belarusian Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vladimirovich Kubrakov in Hanoi on April 26.

The PM appreciated Belarus’s support for Vietnam’s past struggle for independence and national reunification, and current national construction and protection. Belarus has created favourable conditions for Vietnamese expatriates to integrate into its society and offered Vietnam assistance with medical equipment and supplies to overcome COVID-19 and recover, Chinh said.

He emphasised the contributions of their growing political, socioeconomic, cultural, and collaboration in defence and security to the sustainable and stable development of each nation. He suggested the sides effectively sustain their existing cooperation mechanisms and fields and study and develop new mechanisms and initiatives to jointly respond to new challenges.

For his part, Minister Kubrakov informed his host on the outcomes of his recent talks with the Vietnamese Minister of Public Security To Lam, saying they reached important security-related agreements and action plans between the two ministries and the countries’ localities in terms of professional training, among others.

In response, Chinh said he is pleased that the two sides have signed important documents, and exchanged and agreed on specific and practical measures to further promote the Vietnam-Belarus cooperation in preventing and combating crime, and maintaining social order and safety in each country.

He went on to note that Vietnam welcomes Belarusian enterprises and commits to creating favourable conditions for them to expand their investment and long-term business in Vietnam, especially in sectors where Belarus has strengths such as fertilisers, machinery, and equipment. Vietnam also wants Belarus’s facilitation for more Vietnamese goods, particularly agro-fishery products, to enter its market.

Kubrakov conveyed Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko’s greetings and wishes to welcome PM Chinh in Belarus at an appropriate time. Meanwhile, Chinh said he has assigned competent agencies to prepare to welcome his Belarusian counterpart in an official visit to Vietnam at a time suitable for both sides./.
