Receiving Timor Leste Prime Minister Kay Rala Xanama Gusmao in Ha Noi on September 5, NA Chairman Hung said the exchange of visits help the two sides share legislation experience and work together effectively at regional and global parliamentarian forums.
Viet Nam always treasures multifaceted cooperation with Timor Leste within both bilateral and multilateral frameworks, he noted.
The top legislator also suggested the early signing of an agreement on investment protection and encouragement to lay a legal foundation for business cooperation, especially in fields of each side’s strength.
Referring to international relations, the host thanked Timor Leste for backing Viet Nam’s bid for a seat at the United Nations Human Rights Council for the 2014-2016 tenure as well as the country’s stance on the East Sea issue.
Gusmao said Timor Leste is implementing the 2011-2016 development scheme which focuses on resources and human development.
As a young nation with a population of 1.2 million, Timor Leste expects to expand cooperation with countries, including Viet Nam, to learn from national development experience, he added.
He voiced his hope that Viet Nam will support Timor Leste’s bid to join the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), contributing to building a more prosperous community in the future.
