Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnamese Ambassador to Türkiye Dang Thi Thu Ha presented her credentials to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on May 1 (local time).

Congratulating Ha on her appointment, President Erdogan expressed his delight over the new development in the Vietnam – Türkiye ties. He spoke highly of the potential for expanded cooperation across multiple sectors, and particularly hoped for continued growth in bilateral trade.

The President highlighted defence cooperation, especially in defence industry, as a crucial area for the partnership, expressing hope for an early signing of cooperation agreements in this field.

He took the occasion to request Vietnam's support for Türkiye's bid to become a Dialogue Partner of ASEAN, pledging that Turkish agencies will continue supporting and promoting the bilateral relations.

The Vietnamese diplomat, for her part, congratulated Türkiye on its significant socio-economic achievements under President Erdogan's leadership, which have transformed the country into an economically developed nation with increasing influence regionally and globally.

She laid stress on the positive development of the traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation between the two countries, especially following Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's official visit in November 2023. Ha said two-way trade reached over 3 billion USD in 2024, making Vietnam Türkiye's leading trade partner in Southeast Asia. Currently, more than 40 Turkish enterprises have investments in Vietnam, with one Turkish group engaging in constructing Long Thanh International Airport in Dong Nai province. Turkish Airlines operates two direct flights daily between the countries.

Ambassador Ha also noted Vietnam's dispatch of a rescue team to assist earthquake victims in Türkiye in early 2023 as a vivid demonstration of solidarity between the nations. She affirmed her commitment to working closely with relevant Turkish agencies to contribute to the comprehensive and substantive development of bilateral relations.

She conveyed warm greetings from the Vietnamese Party and State leaders to President Erdogan, his spouse, and the Turkish people, as well as their invitations to the President and his spouse to make an official visit to Vietnam, helping elevate the bilateral relations to a new high./.
