During the meetings, Thuan spoke highly of the development of bilateral ties in recent years, especially the Vietnam visit by Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim in August 2017.
He stressed that there remains room for bilateral coordination, and suggested increasing all-level visits, including those between the two countries’ research organisations.
The Turkish side underscored the importance of bilateral scientific collaboration and wished that Vietnam and the VASS in particular would continue enhancing exchange scientists’ visits with Turkey.
Both sides also discussed regional and global issues of shared concern.
On the occasion, the VASS signed a scientific exchange cooperation agreement with the TUBA, marking the start of the partnership between the two leading research institutions of Vietnam and Turkey.
During a working session with the delegation, Vietnamese Ambassador to Turkey Pham Anh Tuan affirmed that the embassy always stands ready to serve as a bridge linking the two countries together in science.
He expressed wish that VASS, TUBA and other Turkish research institutes will continue promoting practical and effective ties.
