Applauding bilateral cooperation potential, PM Pham Minh Chinh proposed  the two sides soon establish a flexible joint economic cooperation agreement that can be implemented quickly to enhance market access, connect supply chains, and support two-way investment.

He also suggested ASEAN and GCC make green and sustainable growth a new pillar of cooperation, adding that Vietnam is ready to work with other countries to promote concrete cooperation in areas such as 5G infrastructure development, AI, submarine cable systems, green hydrogen and solar energy production, and smart energy storage. 

Greater focus will be made on the development of high-quality Halal supply chains and facilitation of labor mobility and working conditions to meet market demands and enhance the resilience of the economy, the PM said.
