During the official visit to Qatar, Pham is scheduled to have meetings with the Emir, Prime Minister, and Speaker of the National Assembly of Qatar.
He will also engage with Qatari ministers, businesses, and investment funds to discuss measures to strengthen political trust and open a new phase of cooperation between the two countries.
Viet Nam and Qatar officially established their diplomatic relations on February 8, 1993. Over the past 30 years, thanks to the efforts of high-ranking leaders and people of both countries, their multifaceted cooperation has seen significant developments in various fields.
Last year, two-way trade enjoyed a year-on-year surge of 32 percent to US$497.2 million./.
