In return, Duterte congratulated Vietnam on its recent achievements, especially in the COVID-19 fight, economic recovery and growth, saying the Philippines has learned a lot from Vietnam’s experience in efforts to combat the pandemic.

She also thanked Vietnam for its timely support to the Philippine people during the pandemic and natural disasters.

Both leaders noted with pleasure the development of the Vietnam-Philippines strategic partnership across multiple spheres, from politics, national defence and security, to economy, trade, investment, education and culture.

They agreed to increase the exchange of all-level delegations, soon resume bilateral cooperation mechanisms disrupted due to the pandemic, increase trade promotions, expand trade and investment cooperation, particularly in rice, and boost collaboration in education-training, cooperation between localities, and people-to-people exchanges.

Xuan suggested the Philippines create more optimal conditions for Vietnamese people to live and study in the host country.

The two sides also agreed to foster coordination to maintain an environment of peace, stability and cooperation in the East Sea, implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), and push ahead with the completion of a Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC).

Xuan used the occasion to invite Duterte to pay an official visit to Vietnam./.
