Jordanian House Speaker embarks on official visit to Viet Nam

The visit is made at the invitation of Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man.

The Jordanian House Speaker was welcomed at Noi Bai International Airport by Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee for National Defense, Security and External Relations Don Tuan Phong and representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Middle East – Africa Department and the State Protocol Department.

The visit marks the first exchange of high-level delegations between the two countries' legislative bodies. It takes place just three months after the visit to Viet Nam by King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein on the occasion of the 45th founding anniversary of diplomatic relations (August 9, 1980 - August 9, 2025).

This is Speaker Mazen Turki El Qadi's first overseas trip since assuming office in October 2025.

The visit demonstrates the strong commitment of the Jordanian Royal Family, Government and House of Representatives to promoting comprehensive relations with Viet Nam, including parliamentary cooperation.

Viet Nam and Jordan established diplomatic relations in 1980. Since then, the bilateral ties have steadily developed and strengthened.

The two countries have maintained several high-level visits and exchanges, including Deputy Foreign Minister Pham Quang Hieu's trip to Jordan in December 2022, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's meeting with Crown Prince of Jordan Al Hussein bin Abdullah II during the 8th annual edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII8) Conference in Saudi Arabia in October 2024, among others./.
