Africa in a practical and effective manner, especially in economic,
trade and investment areas.
National Assembly
Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong made the statement while receiving Joseph
Kiticki Kouamba, Minister-Diplomatic Advisor to the Presidency of the
Central Africa Republic, in Hanoi on August 18.
He said that Vietnam and Central Africa should strengthen
cooperation on the basis of their potential and advantages as they are
developing countries and members of many international organisations.
In the immediate future, the two sides need to increase the exchange
of high-ranking and ministerial-level delegations, strengthening mutual
understanding and setting up legal foundations for the bilateral
cooperation.
While congratulating the Central
African people on their 50 th National Day (August 13, 1960-2010), the
NA leader expressed his belief that the Central African people will see
stronger developments in the process of national construction and
development.
Minister Joseph, who is also the
Central African President’s Permanent Representative to the
International Francophone Organisation, thanked Vietnam for its
hosting of the second Vietnam-Africa International Seminar, which
offered an opportunity to boost information exchanges and cooperation
between Vietnam and African countries in general and Central Africa
in particular.
Vietnam is mentioned as an
example of success during the struggle for national independence in the
past as well as the current national construction and development, he
said.
He expressed his wish that through the
visit, his delegation will study Vietnam ’s successes, especially its
experiences in building development policies, consolidating national
unity and mobilising all resources for economic development and disaster
prevention./.
