Kasymaliev, who is on an official visit to Vietnam from March 6–7, stated that Kyrgyzstan values bilateral cooperation and wishes to join hands with Vietnam in elevating it to new heights.

Recognising Vietnam as a long-standing and important partner of Kyrgyzstan in Southeast Asia, he underscored his country’s interest in reinforcing the traditional friendship and win-win multifaceted collaboration with Vietnam, as well as through Vietnam, improving its relations with ASEAN and Southeast Asian nations.

Kyrgyzstan is also ready to serve as a bridge between Vietnam and Central Asia, he continued.

Both host and guest agreed to deepen parliamentary connections, noting the two parliaments will maintain close coordination and mutual support at multilateral parliamentary forums such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the Meeting of Speakers of Eurasian Countries’ Parliaments (MSEAP). The two sides will also exchange and support each other’s stances on regional and international issues of common concern, increase bilateral exchanges of high-level delegations, parliamentary committees, and friendship parliamentary groups, and also attend and develop joint initiatives at multilateral parliamentary events hosted by each country.

On this occasion, Man expressed gratitude to the Kyrgyz Government for supporting the Vietnamese community in Kyrgyzstan, helping them integrate into the local society and contribute to both countries’ socio-economic development along with bilateral ties./.
