Deputy PM holds phone talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister

The Egyptian minister expressed deep sympathies to the Government and people of Viet Nam over severe consequences left by Typhoon Yagi.

He reassured that Egypt always stands by, unites with and supports Viet Nam as repeatedly affirmed by leaders of the two sides, saying Viet Nam represents an important partner of Egypt in the region. 

Egypt stands ready to create the most favorable conditions for Vietnamese businesses and investors in Egypt, Abdelatty said.

He suggested Vietnamese enterprises take advantage of the free trade agreements (FTAs) which Egypt signed with the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), Arab and Africa to spur the export of goods to these strong markets which have a combined 2 billion population.

In reply, Bui thanked Abdelatty for his sympathies over the damage caused by Typhoon Yagi.

Bui proposed the two sides maintain meetings and delegation exchanges at all levels, and continue to support each other at multilateral forums, especially the UN and the Non-Aligned Movement.

He suggested that the two sides work closely together to promote each other's cooperation with organizations and regions in which the other is a member such as the Arab League and ASEAN.

The two sides pledged to prepare for high-level meetings between the two sides; spur linkages among localities and businesses of the two countries, and enhancing the efficiency of bilateral cooperation mechanisms.

The pair promised to continue close cooperation between the two countries' Foreign Ministries, contributing to further promoting the traditional friendship and multifaceted collaboration between Viet Nam and Egypt./.
