National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man directed the consideration of establishing similar creative technology centres in Vietnam, based on Armenia's TUBO Centre model, to create an educational environment that helps Vietnamese youth promote self-learning and enhance their skills, particularly in science and technology, innovation, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh urged promoting breakthroughs in scientific and technological development, innovation, and digital transformation for rapid and sustainable growth, noting that attention should be placed on green economy, digital economy, knowledge-based economy, circular economy, and sharing economy, particularly in emerging sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things.

NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stated that the Vietnamese delegation’s visit to Armenia not only aims to strengthen political and parliamentary relations, but also opens up opportunities to promote economic, trade and investment cooperation - areas in which both countries have great potential to exploit together.

The continuing re-organisation of the local military structure and the border guard force aims to enhance efficiency, reduce intermediary levels, strengthening their role as the core force in implementing the strategy of people's defence and people's war, ensuring the firm protection of national sovereignty and border security, Party General Secretary To Lam said.

Building on the fruitful development of the bilateral relations, NA Chairman Man’s official visit to Uzbekistan marks an important milestone, contributing to elevating the bilateral relations to a new level.

National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man's visit to Uzbekistan will serve as a catalyst for deepening the friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations in the years ahead.

The official visit is a demonstration of Vietnam’s consistent policy of treasuring and promoting relations with the countries it has traditional friendship with, including Armenia.

In the past over five decades, Vietnam and Belgium have emerged as key partners across multiple fields, including politics, diplomacy, trade, investment, education, health care, environmental protection, and sustainable development. Both nations have also worked closely together at multilateral forums, particularly as members of the United Nations Human Rights Council for the 2023-2025 tenure.

Belgian King Philippe's visit, accompanied by senior officials, business leaders, representatives of universities and research institutes, would create new momentum to deepen and enhance the friendship and multifaceted cooperation between Vietnam and Belgium in a practical and effective way, meeting the benefits of their people and contributing responsibly to peace, stability, and sustainable development in the region and the world.

To further strengthen Vietnam-Belgium relations, especially parliamentary cooperation, both sides agreed to enhance delegation exchanges at all levels, particularly between parliamentary committees and friendship groups. They also pledged to share legislative and supervisory experience, coordinate positions in international organisations, support each other’s candidacies for UN bodies, and effectively implement the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA).

President Cuong warmly welcomed King Philippe and a high-ranking delegation of the Kingdom of Belgium on their first state visit to Vietnam since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1973, affirming that the trip is an important historical milestone, opening up a new page for the friendly relations between the two countries.

This is the first official visit to Armenia by a top legislator of Vietnam since the two countries established their diplomatic relations in 1992. It takes place in the context of their traditional friendship developing well.

The first state visit in over 50 years between the two countries serves as an important milestone for bilateral ties to enter a new development stage with stronger political trust and more substantive and effective cooperation.

As an active and responsible member of the IPU, Vietnam has continually been proposing initiatives and making substantive contributions to the IPU’s activities.

During the reception, the Vietnamese Party chief highly valued the progress in bilateral relations across all field, notably, the steady growth of economic, trade, and investment ties.

NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man’s attendance at the IPU-150 themed, “Parliamentary Action for Social Development and Justice”, reflects Vietnam’s renewed vigour and steadfast commitment to this crucial multilateral parliamentary forum.

The visit underscores Vietnam's steadfast foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, and proactive international integration. It also reaffirms Vietnam's commitment to strengthening ties with Belgium, a key partner within the European Union.

NA Secretary-General Le Quang Tung said the 9th session will address a broad agenda, including constitutional amendments, 44 legislative items, and 12 key issues tied to socio-economic development, State budget, oversight, and other key matters.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh ordered dealing with all projects with problems within 2025. Ministries and localities reported that about 1,500 projects across the country are currently facing difficulties, spanning about 20 different issue groups.

PM Pham Minh Chinh thanked President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the Brazilian Government for recognising Vietnam’s market economy status, which will facilitate the access of their countries’ businesses to each other’s markets in a fair and mutually beneficial manner.
