They said they will continue working to maintain a close friendship between the people of the two nations and foster the implementation of Vietnam-India agreements reached during this visit to further expand the long-standing bilateral ties.
President Quang took this occasion to invite Reddy and Yechury to visit Vietnam at a convenient time.
The same day, President Quang also hosted a reception for President of the Indo-Vietnam Friendship Parliamentary Group Dr. Keshava Rao and Vietnam’s Honorary Consul in Nepal Dr. Rajesh Kazi Shrestha.
The Vietnamese leader congratulated Dr. Rao upon his new election as the group’s president, expressing his hope that, as a prestigious Indian senator, he will play an active role in strengthening the bilateral relationship.
The Indo-Vietnam Friendship Parliamentary Group was formed as a result of the India visit by National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan in December 2016, reflecting the two legislative bodies’ good relations in recent years, Rao said.
As the chair of the group, he vowed to bolster delegation exchanges and cooperation between the parliaments’ committees and within the group as well as their partnership at international and regional parliamentary forums of which both sides are members.-VNA
