Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan expressed their delight at the remarkable progress in bilateral relations, marked by three key strengths: enhanced political trust and mutual understanding, more substantive economic cooperation, and closer and more effective collaboration and support at multilateral forums.

Based on these solid foundations, and in response to the aspirations of the leaders and people of both nations, as well as the desire to contribute to peace, stability, cooperation, and development in the region and the world, the two sides agreed to upgrade their relationship to a Comprehensive Partnership. With this upgrade, the UAE becomes Vietnam’s first Comprehensive Partner in the Middle East, reflecting the determination and expectations of the leaders of both countries to take their bilateral cooperation to a new height, marked by stronger, more practical, and more effective collaboration.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan agreed on six key priorities for cooperation, including: promptly developing action programs to immediately implement the framework of the Comprehensive Partnership; promoting cooperation in innovation, green transition, digital transformation, and circular economy; achieving breakthroughs in economic, trade, and investment cooperation; cooperating in the development of the Halal industry and opening up the market for Vietnamese Halal products; strengthening labor, cultural, tourism, sports, and people-to-people exchanges; and closely coordinating, consulting, and supporting each other on regional and global issues within multilateral forums. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also requested that the UAE authorities facilitate favorable conditions for the Vietnamese community living and working in the UAE.
