The two countries will focus on delegation and people-to-people exchanges, work
to improve the quality of cooperation mechanisms, and step up coordination at
multilateral forums, as agreed by Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and
his Israeli counterpart Naftali Bennett during their online talks on July 12.
Vietnam and Israel will also foster collaboration in research, innovation,
science-technology, high-tech agriculture, and education-training, while
encouraging their businesses to intensify cooperation and investment in the
respective countries.
The leaders agreed to closely cooperate to advance the multi-faceted cooperation
between the two countries in a more pragmatic and effective manner, and speed up
the negotiations and signing of a free trade agreement and another on labour
cooperation.
Chinh expressed his impression on Israel’s vaccination rollout as well as its
efforts in seeking vaccine sources and vaccine research and development,
suggesting the two sides closely coordinate in the pandemic combat, and partner
in vaccine research and development, and treatment methods.
He called on Israel to help Vietnam access sources of COVID-19 vaccines and
drugs as soon as possible through all possible cooperation forms, especially
Israel’s transfer of vaccines it has signed with Astra Zeneca and Moderna.
Bennett lauded achievements Vietnam has recorded in the pandemic fight,
socio-economic development and external affairs, and affirmed that Israel
attaches importance to strengthening its multi-faceted cooperation with Vietnam.
Chinh congratulated Bennett on his election as Prime Minister of Israel and
noted his belief that under Bennett’s leadership, the Israeli people will reap
major achievements in national construction and development.
Bennett agreed with Chinh’s proposals, saying the two countries should assign
their relevant ministries and agencies to soon implement contents reached by the
PMs, especially cooperation in COVID-19 vaccine-related issues, contributing to
deepening the bilateral multi-faceted cooperation.
On this occasion, the leaders exchanged invitations to pay official visits to
their respective countries, towards the celebration of the bilateral diplomatic
ties (1993-2023).
