ANKARA — Vietnamese Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính had a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday, as part of his visit to the Middle Eastern country.

The Turkish President highly appreciated the historical significance of PM Chính's official visit, especially at a time when Việt Nam and Türkiye are commemorating the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations, marking the beginning of a new era in bilateral ties.

President Erdogan stressed Türkiye attaches importance to the development of multifaceted cooperation with Việt Nam, a country of special significance in Southeast Asia.

He expressed gratitude for the valuable support that the Vietnamese government and people provided to the Turkish people in overcoming the consequences of the earthquake in February 2023. President Erdogan praised the enthusiasm and high professionalism of the rescue team sent by the Vietnamese Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Public Security to Türkiye to help deal with the disaster's aftermath.

Both leaders agreed on several specific measures to further enhance multifaceted cooperation between the two countries.

In terms of politics and diplomacy, they agreed to promote cooperation between the Communist Party of Việt Nam and the ruling Justice and Development Party of Türkiye (AKP), as well as between the governments and parliaments of both countries.

The two countries' leaders exchanged views on regional and international issues of mutual concern, emphasising the importance of adhering to international law to ensure peace, security and development in both regions and globally.

PM Chính and President Erdogan acknowledged the significant untapped potential for bilateral economic cooperation.

PM Chính proposed that Turkey create favourable conditions for Việt Nam's strong export items, such as footwear, agricultural and aquatic products, to penetrate the Turkish retail system. He welcomed Turkish corporations and businesses to invest in areas such as hydrogen development, infrastructure and logistics.

Both leaders also agreed to promote cooperation in other areas such as the development of the Halal industry, tourism, agriculture, education and training, and increased people-to-people exchanges.

On regional and international issues, PM Chính announced that Việt Nam would contribute US$500,000 through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to provide emergency humanitarian assistance to the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip.
