He went on to say that since two defence ministries signed an agreement in 2019, cooperation in delegation exchange, defence industry, training, and the UN peacekeeping activities has become deeper and more practical and effective.
Meanwhile, Mongolian Ambassador to Vietnam Jigjee Sereejav said that the Vietnam – Mongolia relations have been unceasingly developing and successful over the past seven decades.
He described 2023 as a special year for the bilateral ties as Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh paid a state visit to Vietnam, adding both nations are making efforts to upgrade their relations.
Collaboration in economy and trade between Mongolia and Vietnam have scaled up in the past two years; however, they hold huge potential to promote their cooperative ties in the time to come, he added./.
