Hanoi (VNA) - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh hosted a reception in Hanoi on April 16 for Minister of Climate Change and Environment of the UAE Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak, who is in Vietnam to attend the 4th Partnership for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit.

Recalling positive impressions from his official visit to the UAE in October 2024, the Vietnamese leader expressed his admiration for the UAE's achievements, and his desire to learn from the country’s experience in economic transformation as well as rapid and strong development.

He urged ministries, sectors, and agencies of the two countries to actively cooperate and implement the outcomes of his visit to achieve specific results and projects in areas such as investment, high technology, artificial intelligence, financial centre development, food security, and rice cultivation.

The UAE minister affirmed that, in its role as the President of COP 28 in 2023, the UAE is deeply concerned about and prioritises response to climate change, and looks forward to further cooperation with Vietnam in this field.

She welcomed Vietnam's consideration of joining the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), headquartered in the UAE, affirming that joining the IRENA will demonstrate Vietnam's commitment to promoting renewable energy use, contributing to the fight against climate change, and also show Vietnam's support for the UAE's initiatives in this field.

The minister highlighted the recent strong development of the bilateral relationship between Vietnam and the UAE, with several historical milestones, such as PM Chinh’ official visit to the UAE last year, the upgrade of the bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Partnership, and the signing of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).

The UAE highly evaluates its Comprehensive Partnership with Vietnam, she stated, adding that UAE ministries and sectors are working closely with the Southeast Asian nation to ensure the implementation of high-level commitments in priority areas.

The UAE is willing to welcome Vietnamese agencies and businesses to visit the UAE for discussions on cooperation projects in energy, food security, education and training, she added.

The two sides agreed to continue promoting the exchange of high-level delegations, and enhancing coordination and mutual support at multilateral forums and international organisations; and accelerate negotiations and the signing of cooperation agreements in investment protection, and visa exemption for holders of diplomatic and official passports to create a favourable legal framework for cooperation, thus tightening and deepening the bilateral relations.

PM Chinh took this occasion to ask the minister to convey his greetings and invitations to the President and Prime Minister of the UAE to visit Vietnam in 2025./.
