In reply, Nam congratulated Botswana on its development achievements and discussed with his host measures to further bilateral relations and prepare for the celebration of the 10th anniversary of diplomatic ties (2009-2019).
Host and guest consented to soon sign an agreement on economic, cultural, educational, scientific and technical cooperation and another on visa exemption for diplomatic and official passport holders aiming to facilitate the exchange of all-level delegations and business connections between their businesses.
He conveyed a letter of President Tran Dai Quang to President Mokgweetsi Masini suggesting Botswana support Vietnam’s bid to become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2020-2021.
