Significance of NA Chairman’s official visit to India spotlighted
In an interview granted to Indian press agencies, the top Vietnamese legislator
said that the visit demonstrates the respect and desire of both Vietnam and India
to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two
countries in general and the relations between their legislative bodies in
particular.
According to NA Chairman Hue, his trip is hoped to create a new impetus for the
bilateral relations, and offer a chance for the two sides to understand more about policies
on socio-economic development and foreign affairs of each country.
Leaders of the two countries can took the occasion to compare their notes of international
and global issues of common concern, and seek solutions to global
challenges, thus contributing to peace, security, stability and development in
the region and the world, he said.
Parliamentary cooperation between Vietnam and India is one of
the important and effective cooperation channels, and an integral part of the
Vietnam-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, he affirmed, expressing his
belief that India will become one of
Vietnam's leading important partners in areas if politics, economy, trade,
investment, security-defence, science-technology, culture, and education-training in the near future.
According to the Vietnamese leader, in order to
further promote trade and investment relations between the two countries in the
coming time, their ministries of industry and trade should soon convene the 5th
meeting of the joint sub-committee on trade to seek measures to promptly
remove trade barriers and promote exports to each other's market.
Governments and businesses of both countries need to
enhance trade promotion activities and create more favourable conditions for Vietnamese
and Indian enterprises, he added.
The investment ties between the two countries is not commensurate with the
potential, Hue noted, stating that Vietnam always welcomes Indian businesses to
expand investment in the Southeast Asian
nation, especially in the areas of their strengths./.
