Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has underscored the importance of multilateralism and international solidarity, as well as the role that developing nations like Vietnam and Kenya play in global efforts towards green and sustainable development.
Hosting a reception in Hanoi on April 16 for Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Defence Soipan Tuya, who is in Vietnam for the 4th Partnership for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit, PM Chinh expressed confidence that the Kenyan delegation will contribute valuable green and sustainable development initiatives to the summit agenda, while strengthening bilateral relations.
Recognising vast untapped potential for collaboration, PM Chinh suggested the two nations intensify delegation exchanges, and expand cooperation in defence and security, trade, education and training, clean agriculture, food security, and people-to-people exchanges, especially among younger generations, among other fields.
He highlighted Vietnam’s interest in science - technology, innovation and digital transformation, seeing them as essential elements in national development, and suggested the two countries enhance cooperation and experience sharing in these areas.
The Kenyan official handed over a letter from President William Ruto to PM Chinh, expressing Kenya's desire to further enhance its cooperation with Vietnam, and commending the Southeast Asian country's sustainable development vision and its organisation of the summit which is of importance to developing nations.
She noted that digital transformation is also a priority in Kenya's socio – economic development strategy as the country aims to become a financial and technological hub in East Africa and across the continent as a whole. She affirmed Kenya's readiness to engage in effective digital transformation cooperation with Vietnam.
The two sides expressed their delight at the robust Vietnam – Kenya relations, with the recent signing of a memorandum of understanding on political and diplomatic cooperation, establishing a legal framework for regular dialogue, mutual understanding and trust, and comprehensive cooperation across various sectors of shared interest.
To facilitate connectivity and collaboration, both sides concurred to explore establishing diplomatic missions in each country, and to negotiate and sign cooperation documents in such areas as trans-national crime prevention, agriculture, and science – technology./.
