The Vice Chairwoman praised Morocco’s initiative to organise “Vietnamese Days” in Morocco and promote trade and tourism between the countries. She also said expressed hopes for further development of Vietnam-Morocco co-operative relations by exchanging delegations, information and mutual support.

The Moroccan guest pledged to support initiatives to strengthen ties outlined at a joint committee meeting in March with the aim of boosting co-operation between North Africa and Southeast Asia.

Earlier in the day, he held talks with NA Committee for External Affairs Chairman Nguyen Van Son, where both sides spoke of the need for closer cooperation between the two countries and within the South-South framework.

He said Morocco hopes to learn from Vietnam’s experience in rice and coffee production, fishing and aquaculture, and human resources training while serving as a gateway to help Vietnam’s enter important markets in the region. He suggested establishing a Vietnam-Morocco Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Lahbib El Eulj is on a three-day visit to Vietnam that began on April 21.
