During a reception for Greek Ambassador Antonios Papakostas, President Luong thanked Greece for being one of the first partners to ratify the EU-Viet Nam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA).
As the investment cooperation remains modest compared to the potential for growth in the economic, trade, and investment sectors, the President proposed the ambassador to work closely with Vietnamese partners to promote measures that further enhance bilateral cooperation, including efforts to sign several cooperation agreements in areas of mutual interest to create a legal framework for businesses from both countries to expand their bilateral collaboration in the coming time.
Congratulating Camila Maria Polo Flores on her appointment as the Colombian Ambassador to Viet Nam, the President hailed appreciated Colombia's successful chairmanship of the 2024 Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit and emphasised the importance of its close cooperation with Viet Nam in successfully hosting P4G 2025 next month.
Welcoming Ambassador of Panama Nubiela Ayala Modes, the State leader suggested the two sides work to organize activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations to strengthen bilateral collaboration.
Also on March 17, President Cuong received credentials from the six non-resident ambassadors of Liberia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Portugal, and Tanzania.
He hoped that the ambassadors will work with Viet Nam to further explore cooperation potential, increase delegation exchanges, especially at high levels, to provide direction and momentum for relations, share development experiences, bolster economic, trade, and investment cooperation, particularly in complementary fields, and enhance people-to-people exchanges.
The President also hoped that the foreign countries would work with Viet Nam at multilateral forums to address global issues, build a peaceful world with a fair political and economic order based on the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and international law./.
