Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar’s Armed Forces Senior General Min Aung Hlaing,
Minister of International Cooperation Kyaw Tin and Minister of Social Welfare,
Relief and Resettlement Win Myat Aye.
At the meetings, Deputy FM Dung conveyed PM Phuc’s message affirming that
Vietnam values the progress in relations between the two countries, especially

2017.
He congratulated Myanmar on the achievements its government and people have
gained over the past seven decades of national defence and development.
He expressed Vietnam’s sympathy for the difficulties Myanmar is facing regarding
security and humanitarian issues in Rakhine state, showing his belief that the
country will continue working with ASEAN, the UN and other relevant parties to
seek long-term solutions to conflicts and speed up the repatriation of
refugees.
Vietnam is willing to support dialogues among relevant parties, contributing to
peace and stability in the region, he stated.
In the spirit of the bilateral comprehensive cooperative partnership and mutual
support, the Deputy PM announced that the Government of Vietnam has decided to
offer Myanmar 100,000 USD for humanitarian aid, reconstruction and development
in Rakhine.
Myanmar State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and Myanmar officials briefed their
guest on efforts of the government to stabilise Rakhine. They appreciated the
support that Vietnam has given to the country over the years, stressing the
material and moral value of the assistance to the government and people of
Myanmar.
The Myanmar officials pledged to support Vietnam in performing the role of ASEAN
Chair in 2020, while affirming determination to promote the partnership between
Vietnam and Myanmar. Myanmar will work closely with Vietnam to hold the ninth
meeting of the Joint Committee for Bilateral Cooperation in Vietnam in the
future, they vowed.-VNA
