At a meeting on January 22 with Chairman of the Mongolian Parliament Miyegombo Enkhbold, PM Phuc stressed that both sides need to consolidate and develop cooperation in various fields based on their long-standing traditional friendship.

He spoke highly of the central Asian country for creating favourable conditions for Vietnamese firms to do business there, adding that Vietnam is willing to send experts in civil engineering and other fields to support Mongolia.

The Vietnamese Government leader said that the two countries should make more efforts to increase bilateral trade to US$70 million by 2020.

For his part, Chairman Miyegombo Enkhbold said that Vietnam is an important partner of Mongolia in the Southeast Asian region and his country always desires to boost cooperation with Vietnam.

Mongolia supports Vietnam in its bid for the position of non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the 2020-2021 tenure and desires that Vietnam would continue to back it to join activities of the ASEAN Community, he said.

He suggested that the two countries should enhance cooperation in customs, tax, banking and finance in order to promote two-way trade cooperation.
