They also discussed enhancing coordination at multilateral forums as well as global and regional issues of mutual concern. PM Chinh proposed Jordan continue supporting the stance of ASEAN and Vietnam on resolving disputes by peaceful means, and ensuring security and safety of navigation in the East Sea in accordance with international law.
