Both sides are scheduled to review progress of cooperation areas under the 2023–2027 Plan of Action to realise the Comprehensive Partnership adopted during Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính’s official visit to Brunei in February 2023. Notably, the visit provides an opportunity for both countries to discuss steps to accelerate collaboration in priority areas, including politics-diplomacy, national defence–security, energy, Halal industry, tourism and people-to-people exchanges, alongside other areas of mutual interest.
For Brunei, the visit reflects its high regard and enduring friendship toward Việt Nam as a trusted partner within ASEAN. For Việt Nam, welcoming the Sultan underscores the Party and State’s foreign policy of valuing relations with ASEAN member states, further consolidating and enhancing multifaceted cooperation with Brunei, and contributing to regional peace, stability, cooperation and development, Vũ added. — VNA/VNS
