President Quang praised the development of bilateral ties and their coordination at international forums, particularly at the United Nations.

He expressed hope that both sides will continue to implement the Viet Nam-Eurasian Economic Union FTA towards increasing two-way trade and expanding investment cooperation. 

Ambassador Sadokho told his guest that the simplification of visa procedures for the two countries’ citizens has helped raise the number of Belarusian tourists to the Southeast Asian nation by 1.5 times.

Belarus will set up two businesses assembling automobiles and specialised vehicles in Viet Nam in order to meet the demands of the Vietnamese market and regional countries, he said.

Acknowledging contributions made by the Belarusian Embassy in Viet Nam and Valery Sadokho himself to the time-honoured friendship between the two countries, President Tran Dai Quang noted his hope that the ambassador will contribute more to the relationship.
