Both expressed their hope that the two legislative bodies will continue to make positive contributions to the friendship, multi-faceted cooperation, and comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries through drafting and enacting legal documents, establishing appropriate mechanisms and policies to facilitate all-around cooperation, especially in economy, trade, and investment.

Muzani affirmed that Indonesia attaches great importance to relations with Vietnam, for the benefits of both nations as well as for peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the region and the world. He expressed confidence that Lam's state visit will yield positive results, further promoting bilateral cooperation across various fields, including politics, defence, security, economy, trade, investment, culture, education, tourism, people-to-people exchanges, and collaboration between localities.

They also pledged to make their utmost effort to deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership and strengthen cooperation in a more substantive and effective manner.
