HÀ NỘI — Acting President Võ Thị Ánh Xuân hosted receptions in Hà Nội on Wednesday for ambassadors of Armenia, New Zealand, Türkiye and Peru who came to present their credentials.
Meeting Ambassador of Armenia Suren Baghdasaryan, Xuân said Việt Nam always appreciates the support from people of the former Soviet Union, including Armenia, to Việt Nam's past struggle for national independence and reunification.
Noting developments in the bilateral diplomatic, economic and investment ties, the Acting President said ample room remains for Việt Nam and Armenia to step up their cooperation, and suggested them optimise existing collaboration mechanisms while reaching new ones to boost their economic, trade and investment links.
The two countries also have potential for cooperation in national defence, culture, tourism and people-to-people exchange, among other fields, she continued.
Xuân asked the ambassador to convey her regards to the President of Armenia, saying she wishes to welcome him in Việt Nam at an appropriate time.
For his part, Baghdasaryan emphasised Armenian people’s special sentiments towards Việt Nam, and shared his view that the two countries boast potential for collaboration in economy, trade, science-technology and education.
