The visit is made at the invitation of National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.
This is the first visit to Viet Nam by the Mozambican official since she took office in January 2020.
The visit is expected to strengthen the two countries' traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation, particularly in the parliamentary sphere.
The trip is a highlight in the nations' bilateral engagements toward marking the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations (June 25, 1975).
The two sides set up their inter-government committee in May 2008 and conducted regular exchanges of their Party and State delegations.
Their economic and commercial ties have been sustained, with bilateral trade revenue reaching US$157.18 million in 2020 and US$149.5 million in 2021.
The countries worked together in research for food crops growth in Mozambique for 2013-2017. To cover the cost of the project, the Vietnamese Government contributed US$1.96 million and the Mozambican Government US$210,000.
