Vietnam successfully defended their ASEAN Cup title after a 2-2 draw with Thailand in the second leg of the final at My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi on August 26 evening, completing a 4-2 aggregate victory.
During the meetings with the Côte d’Ivoire NA President, Vietnamese leaders called for effectively implementating the cooperation memorandum between the two legislatures, considering the early establishment of parliamentary friendship groups in each country, and further sharing legislative and supervisory experience.
Can Tho is committed to creating a favourable, safe and transparent environment for Ivorian businesses, investors and partners to explore opportunities for cooperation and investment.
General Secretary and President To Lam expressed his belief that the visit will open a new chapter in the friendship and cooperation between the two countries and their legislative bodies.
National Assembly President Tran Thanh Man held talks with his Côte d’Ivoire counterpart Patrick Achi in Hanoi on August 23, following an official welcome ceremony at the National Assembly building.
The talks took place in an open and cordial atmosphere, with NA President Man expressing his pleasure that Achi had chosen Vietnam as one of his first destinations in Asia since taking office in January, and just four months after their meeting on the sidelines of the 152nd Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly in Türkiye in April.
The visit is a vivid testament to the enduring friendship nurtured between the two countries over the past half century, while demonstrating the strong determination of their leaders to usher bilateral ties – particularly parliamentary and economic-trade cooperation – into a new phase of deeper, more substantive and effective development.
The following is a brief review of the day’s events as reported by the Vietnam News Agency.
The visit comes short after the two countries celebrated the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations (October 6, 1975 - 2025), and reflects their determination to open a new chapter in bilateral ties, particularly in parliamentary and economic-trade cooperation.
The seminar was the first activity in during Thanh’s visit, the first-ever by a top Vietnamese legislator since the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1975.
