Vietnam is effectively using ODA granted by New Zealand in education and training, poverty reduction and sustainable development, Vice State President Nguyen Thi Doan has affirmed.
Receiving New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Murray McCully in Hanoi on Jan. 25, Doan expressed her pleasure at the fine development of relations between their two countries in many fields, saying she believed that FM Murray McCully’s Vietnam visit would deepen the friendship cooperation between the two countries.
The Vice State President thanked New Zealand for recognising Vietnam’s market economy and creating favourable conditions for Vietnamese nationals and students to live and study in the country.
She expressed her wish that Vietnam and New Zealand would quickly implement the cooperation agreements reached between the two countries’ leaders to promote the bilateral friendship and cooperation.
FM McCully affirmed that ASEAN in general and Vietnam in particular will take central stage in New Zealand’s cooperation programme in the near future.
The same day, Vice Chairwoman of the National Assembly Tong Thi Phong hosted a reception for FM McCully, during which Phong affirmed that the two countries have great potential for cooperation, especially in culture, tourism, and labour.
She welcomed a New Zealand decision to receive 200 Vietnamese guest workers in 2010 with plans to recruit another 100 in 2011, and thanked the country for providing aid relief to Vietnam’s storm and flood victims.
She also expressed gratefulness to New Zealand for backing Vietnam’s candidacy of the non-permanent membership of the UN Security Council, saying she hoped New Zealand would continue to support Vietnam in its post as ASEAN chair.
She proposed that the two legislative bodies increase the exchange of delegations to share experiences in the law-making work./.
