VNA - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and his Qatar counterpart Hamad bin Jasim bin Jabir al-Thani have agreed to establish an energy and food partnership, and found a mutual interest joint investment fund worth 1 billion USD.
The two leaders reached a consensus during their talks in Doha on March 8, as part of PM Dung’s four-day official visit to Qatar that began on March 7.
The two PMs also spent time on measures to boost cooperation in labour and trade to bolster their investment and financial relations.
Additionally, they pledged to push their respective foreign ministries to hasten negotiations on visa exemptions for diplomats and official passport holders, so as to sign a treaty to this effect soon.
PM Dung opened the talks with praise about Qatar’s great achievements in turning the Gulf nation into a major regional and global financial and commercial hub, and ended by expressing his satisfaction with the tremendous development of bilateral relations.
“Since Vietnam had the honor of hosting the Qatari Prime in 2007 and 2008, relations between our two countries have become ever closer, particularly regarding economic matters. Thus turning both countries’ potential into reality that benefits both sides,” said Dung.
“Vietnam appreciates its cooperative ties with Qatar, as an important partner in the Gulf region,” he continued.
He concluded by inviting his counterpart to visit Vietnam.
