The Party chief and his guest discussed key directions and measures to foster bilateral traditional friendship through increasing high-level and all-level delegation exchanges and contacts, and expanding cooperation in trade-investment, defense-security, science-technology, innovation, energy, agriculture, and labour.

They also highlighted the significance of enhancing collaboration in education, culture, and people-to-people exchanges, therefore tightening bilateral friendship.

General Secretary Lam expressed his appreciation and called on the Lithuanian Government to continue creating favorable conditions for the Vietnamese community to live and work stably in Lithuania.

He also suggested enhancing the training of Vietnamese students, particularly in Lithuania’s areas of strength, to help develop high-quality human resources in service of both countries’ development goals. The Party chief also stressed the need to build a strong Vietnamese community in Lithuania to serve as a bridge for promoting bilateral friendship and multifaceted cooperation.

Sharing their views on global and regional issues of mutual concern, the two leaders agreed to strengthen coordination and mutual support at multilateral forums such as the United Nations and Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM), and within the cooperation framework between the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Both sides affirmed their support for international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and underscored the importance of maintaining peace, stability, security, safety, and freedom of navigation in the East Sea.
