Prime Minister Pham affirmed that Viet Nam attaches importance to multifaceted cooperation with Jordan. He recalled his meeting with the Crown Prince of Jordan on the occasion of the 8th Future Investment Initiative Conference in October 2024, in which the two sides discussed many measures to promote bilateral relations.

Pham took the occasion to convey the greetings and invitations from General Secretary To Lam, President Luong Cuong and Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man to the Jordanian King to visit Viet Nam soon.

King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein expressed his admiration for Viet Nam's socio-economic development achievements and strong rise as well as the hardworking and diligent Vietnamese people.

The two leaders agreed to step up the exchange of delegations at all levels, especially high-level ones, to enhance political trust; and consider negotiating and signing a number of cooperation agreements on trade, investment and other fields.

Pham suggested the two countries soon establish bilateral cooperation mechanisms, including a political consultation mechanism between the two foreign ministries; and study the negotiation and signing of a visa exemption agreement for diplomatic and official passport holders to facilitate delegation exchanges and exchanges between the two countries. He affirmed that Viet Nam stands ready to cooperate in agriculture and support Jordan in ensuring food security, and collaborate in digital transformation.

King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein welcomed Pham's proposals, expressing his wish that the two sides would strengthen cooperation in science and technology, human resource training, cooperation in dealing with the consequences of bombs and mines, and support the production of artificial limbs.

Both sides agreed to direct relevant ministries and sectors to speed up legal procedures to sign bilateral agreements within the framework of the upcoming visit to Viet Nam by the Jordanian King.

The two sides also discussed ways to strengthen coordination at multilateral forums as well as international and regional issues of mutual concern. Pham suggested Jordan continue backing the stance of ASEAN and Viet Nam on resolving disputes by peaceful means, and ensuring security and safety of navigation in the East Sea in accordance with international law./.
