The Party leader expressed his wish that the two countries promote cooperation
in culture, education and training, which are potential fields for bilateral
cooperation.
He thanked the French National Assembly for sharing experience in legislative
work, monitoring and supporting human resources training.
He said he hopes that France’s legislative body will continue working with
Vietnam, especially in the context that Vietnam is tweaking its legal system and
enhancing the role of the National Assembly and elected bodies.
Rugy expressed his admiration of Vietnam’s development achievements and its
emerging position in the region and the world.
Hailing the 45 years of diplomatic relations between France and Vietnam, the
French legislator said that the visit of General Secretary Trong will contribute
to cooperation between the two countries to make it match their five-year-old
strategic partnership framework.
The two leaders lauded cooperation in the past years between the two legislative
bodies, while agreeing that the parliaments should continue to increase the
exchange of delegations in order to learn from each other.
The Party chief suggested the French National Assembly support and ratify the EU-Vietnam
Free Trade Agreement soon.
He took the occasion to invite Rugy to visit Vietnam on behalf of Vietnamese
National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan.
