At his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Vietnamese Prime Minister recommended the two sides continue to promote trade-investment ties toward raising the bilateral trade value to 10 billion USD soon. He proposed Canada cooperate with Vietnam in new areas such as digital transformation, circular economy and innovation; and sign bilateral agreements to promote cooperation in areas where the two sides have strengths and demand. The two sides agreed to further promote the bilateral consultation and dialogue mechanisms; expand cooperation in fields of complementary advantages; closely coordinate and share stances on international and regional issues of common concern at international and regional forums. * While meeting the Comoros President Azali Assoumani, the Vietnamese Prime Minister suggested that the two sides strengthen their cooperation in agriculture, including tripartite agricultural development cooperation projects; their discussion and coordination at international organisations and multilateral forums. Assoumani agreed that the two sides would soon negotiate and sign a number of important documents, such as an agreement on visa exemption for diplomatic and official passport holders, to create a favourable legal basis for their bilateral cooperation./.
