Hue highlighted the two countries’ friendship and multifaceted cooperation over the past 50 years, saying the ongoing visit to Iran by the delegation of the Vietnamese National Assembly aims to contribute to strengthening cooperation between Vietnam and Iran across the Party, National Assembly, Government and local channels, especially increasing the people-to-people exchange.
IVFA President Seyed Kamal Sajjadi briefed Chairman Hue about his association’s operations, such as writing, printing and publishing a book on the land and people of Vietnam in Tehran, making a film featuring Vietnam’s land and people, with an aim of encouraging many Iranian people to travel the Southeast Asian nation, and the coordination between the two countries’ friendship associations in sharing their operation experience.
The IVFA President hoped two countries continue increasing economic-commercial and cultural cooperation.
Chairman Hue hailed the IVFA for the association’s overall outcomes, saying that in addition to organising people-to-people exchanges, the association gives advice to both sides’ enterprises, together with the Iranian government, to grant scholarships to Vietnamese students to study in Iran, and send Iranian students to Hanoi.
He hoped that the association continues to increase people-to-people exchanges, contributing to the two countries’ relations.
Highly valuing the initiative to make a film featuring the land and people of Vietnam, Hue said the Vietnamese Embassy in Iran will serve as a bridge connecting relevant Vietnamese agencies to support production of the film./.
