General Secretary Trong informed his guest of the outcomes of the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, as well as the implementation of the country’s major policies in domestic development and external relations.

Vietnam appreciates the effective assistance that Kuwait has extended to Vietnam’s national development, he said.

The Kuwaiti PM praised Vietnam’s achievements in national development and the country’s position in the region and the world.

He said Kuwait hopes to boost co-operation with Vietnam in all fields, particularly in investment, energy, commerce and education-training.

The PM also discussed with General Secretary Trong the situation in Kuwait, emphasizing that Kuwaiti people wish to deal with conflicts by peaceful measures and via negotiations and dialogue instead of confrontation.
