Iranian Vice President Mohammad Mokhber and his Vietnamese counterpart Vo Thi Anh Xuan held talks on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Kampala, Uganda, on Saturday.
Mokhber referred to the historical relationship between Iran and Vietnam as well as existing agreements on agricultural, technical, and engineering sectors, noting that the development of bilateral economic ties is not satisfactory, while these two countries enjoy very good political relations.
He emphasized that the private sector is vital in upgrading economic exchanges between the two countries and called for removing monetary and banking obstacles.
The Iranian official also attached importance to the formation of a joint trade commission to pursue the implementation of agreed programs and pave the way for more economic and trade cooperation.
Noting that both Iran and Vietnam have suffered from common enmity, Mokhber pointed out that the same crimes are being committed in Gaza in a different form, emphasizing the necessity of playing a greater role and using all facilities and capacities in international forums to stop these crimes.
The Vietnamese VP, for her part, underscored the need for bolstering efforts in line with the development of trade collaborations, calling for the exchange of delegations to facilitate interactions and economic ties.
Vo Thi Anh Xuan also stated that Vietnam adheres to the basic principles of the non-alignment movement in strengthening peace and stability in the world, pointing out the active participation of this country in aiding the oppressed people of Gaza, demanding an immediate stop to the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against Gaza people.
