Man stressed that the Vietnam–Uzbekistan Business Forum, held on the same day morning, played an important role in market connectivity, and demonstrated a strong commitment of the two sides to turning economic potential into concrete cooperation. He suggested the two sides promptly finalise key legal frameworks, including agreements on visa exemptions for holders of all types of passport, avoidance of double taxation, and investment promotion and protection, to further boost economic, trade, investment, and tourism ties between Vietnam and Uzbekistan.

The two leaders welcomed a plan to soon open representative agencies in each country, which will help strengthen connection and deepen the bilateral relations. They also expressed their desires to strengthen parliamentary ties between the two nations.

On this occasion, the Vietnamese top legislator called on Uzbekistan to continue creating favourable conditions for the Vietnamese community living, studying, and working in the Central Asian nation, thus serving as a vital bridge in promoting the bilateral friendship./.
