Do Hung Viet stressed that Vietnam-Africa cooperation has a positive development in recent time, highlighting the significant milestone of Vietnam officially becoming an observer of the African Union (AU) in December 2023. Vietnam also made important contributions to support African countries in implementing the AU’s Agenda 2063 in areas such as peacekeeping, food security, agriculture, digital infrastructure development, and education and training.

Based on the strong political relationship, he said, the two sides will continue supporting each other at multilateral forums, especially the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the Francophonie. The diplomat also urged African countries to support Vietnam’s candidacy for important UN mechanisms, such as the UN’s General Assembly, the Human Rights Council, and the Security Council.

Agreeing with the host, the foreign diplomats affirmed their backing for Vietnam in promoting cooperation with the AU and regional economic communities (RECs) to contribute to the continent's overall development, particularly in areas where Vietnam has strengths. They shared experiences in industrialization, modernization, poverty reduction, and agricultural development, Vietnamplus reported.

The diplomats also shared suggestions about the opportunities to develop economic cooperation. Vietnamese businesses increase their investments in Africa to take advantage of the young workforce and abundant natural resources. Vietnam can tap into the African common market with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). They suggested both sides enhance exchanges between their chambers of commerce, business communities, and people-to-people interactions, as well as facilitate visa issuance to strengthen mutual understanding and expand opportunities for economic, trade, and investment cooperation.
