In India, the Bac Ninh province delegation visited the Vietnamese Embassy in India. Mr. Chung emphasized the long-standing friendly relationship between Vietnam and India. In particular, in 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two countries' relationship has developed rapidly and deepened with the upgrade to a "Comprehensive Strategic Partnership" in September 2016. On that foundation, over the past years, Bac Ninh province has always been interested in promoting cooperation with Indian partners in all fields.
He expressed his hope that the Vietnamese Embassy in India would pay attention to supporting Bac Ninh province to encourage Indian businesses to invest in the province, especially in strong fields of Indian businesses such as biotechnology, automation, new materials technology, clean energy and pharmaceuticals; and support the province in implementing information exchange activities and promote unique cultural values, heritage sites and famous tourist destinations to Indian people.
He proposed the embassy suggest the Indian Government provide scholarship programs for students, civil servants and public employees in most fields; and create favorable conditions for the Bac Ninh community in India to live, study, work and contribute to the nation’s socio-economic development.
During the visit, the delegation visited and worked with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in New Delhi. This is a non-governmental and non-profit organization with about 9,000 members. It has been establishing centers in the fields of logistics, green business, sustainable development, water, food and agriculture.
The CII is committed to supporting and promoting economic connection to ensure sustainable economic relations between India and Vietnam, and with Bac Ninh province.
The two sides exchanged and shared information on a number of issues of mutual concern, related to promoting investment, accessing export markets for agricultural products, craft village products and promoting tourism - culture between the people of the two countries.
Working with the Central Committee for Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of Nepal, Mr. Chung affirmed that on the path of development, the Vietnamese people, including Bac Ninh province, always appreciate the sincere feelings and active support of the Government and people of Nepal in the struggle for national independence and liberation of the country in the past, as well as the current cause of building and protecting the Fatherland.
He hoped that the two countries would open markets for each country's agricultural products, expand cooperation in high-tech agriculture, and exchange agricultural experts. He also expressed his wish that Nepal would support the province in implementing information exchange activities and promoting unique cultural values and heritage to the Nepali people.
Head of the Central Foreign Affairs Committee of the Communist Party of Nepal Rajan Bhattarai appreciated Vietnam's socio-economic achievements under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Realizing that there is much potential for cooperation and exchange between the two countries, especially in trade, investment promotion and cultural exchange, he hoped that the relationship between the two Parties and the two countries would be promoted.
