Hanoi (VNA) – Chairman of the Presidential Office of Vietnam Le Khanh Hai hosted his Mongolian counterpart Gombojav Zandanshatar in Hanoi on January 10.
The Mongolian official is on a Vietnam visit from January 9–14.
Hai highlighted that since Vietnam and Mongolia established their diplomatic ties in 1954, their traditional friendship has been consolidated and developed continuously. Both countries have supported each other in national safeguarding, construction and development while maintaining close collaboration across Party, government, and people-to-people exchange channels. Cooperation in politics, diplomacy, trade, investment, agriculture, and education has grown significantly, achieving practical outcomes.
The recent upgrading of bilateral relationship to a Comprehensive Partnership during a state visit to Mongolia by Party General Secretary and State President To Lam in September 2024 marked a pivotal milestone, opening up a new chapter in bilateral ties, he noted.
Hai expressed his confidence that the newly signed cooperation agreement between the two presidential offices will foster effective information exchange and sharing of experience and strategies to further enhance collaboration. He said he wished that the agencies will maintain regular delegation exchanges to share experience in their work, thus bolstering cooperation and mutual support in areas of shared interest.
For his part, Gombojav Zandanshatar praised the robust progress in Vietnam-Mongolia relations, especially through the exchange of all-level delegations.
He called for close coordination between the two offices to effectively implement the agreed initiatives and expressed his agency's willingness to collaborate more closely with its Vietnamese counterpart. He also emphasised expanding cooperation in economy, trade, tourism, and other areas.
On the occasion, a cooperation agreement between the two presidential offices was signed./.
