PM Chinh expressed his hope that the two sides will deepen the partnership in a more practical and effective way, and maintain their cooperation and mutual support at international organisations and multilateral forums, especially the United Nations (UN).

For his part, Tuzson noted his admiration for Vietnam’s outstanding development steps over the past time, and informed the PM about the outcomes of the talks with his Vietnamese counterpart Le Thanh Long, during which they agreed on orientations and solutions to boost cooperation between the two Ministries of Justice and signed a letter of intend on cooperation in personnel training.

PM Chinh emphasised that the Party and State of Vietnam always create conditions for ministries and agencies, including the Ministry of Justice, to tighten bilateral relations with the Hungarian Ministry of Justice in law and justice.

On this occasion, Tuzson conveyed the invitation of the Hungarian PM to PM Chinh to pay an official visit to Hungary. The host leader accepted the invitation with pleasure, and asked the minister to convey his invitation to the Hungarian PM to visit Vietnam./.
